Product Description

Product Description

This is a memoir of Elizabeth McCullough's girlhood and young adulthood spent mainly in Belfast and Derry during World War II, and just after the war. After her parents' marriage had broken down, she lived with her glamorous mother, whose treatment of her varied from benign indifference to more active neglect. As the "square peg" of the title, and rebellious in a strict middle-class society, Elizabeth found scope for her bohemian tendencies in her job running the photography department at Queen's University. In this period, she met members of Belfast's lively artistic circle, such as John Luke, Colin Middleton and Langtry Lynas. The account, which is counterpointed by extracts from her diaries for 1941 and 1948, ends with her first marriage in 1950.

4.0 out of 5 stars intertaining family saga , small lovingly depicted cameos., 13 Jan 2001
By the_timoth@yahoo.com (belfast, n. ireland) - See all my reviews
Excellent small book of family history set in the province of Ulster. Will appeal to those with roots in Northern Ireland. Great at observing the characters in her family , notably her grandparents. She is good at describing quirky family life . Overall the book made me realise, if I needed reminding, and why not (!), that each moment in history is as important as any other, and her intimate book, provides history that dignity. Like all good writing, the text is much more revealing than even the careful selection of photos from the family album.
