{"product_id":"nanny-ma-and-me","title":"Nanny, Ma and me","description":"''This story is the result of long hours of delving into the pasts of my nanny and my ma. I hope it will give some insight into the experiences of one family of colour in Ireland today. Most of all, I just want to start a conversation, because once people come together to talk, the possibilities are endless.'' Jade Jordan \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJade Jordan''s grandmother, Kathleen, left Ireland for England in the late 1950s to train as a nurse. While there, she fell in love and married a Jamaican man. They had two sons and a daughter, Dominique, and settled in London''s diverse Walthamstow. But when Kathleen decided to return home to Dublin, she discovered that the colour of her children''s skin set them apart - and that their new lives would be very different to the ones they had known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, in this honest, warm-hearted and often humorous multi-generational memoir, Kathleen, Dominique and her daughter Jade each tell their story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Kathleen''s determination to raise her children with love and security in inner-city Dublin, to Dominique''s struggle to figure out how she fit in as a young Black teenager, to Jade''s own experiences as a Black woman growing up in twenty-first-century Ireland, Nanny, Ma \u0026amp; Me is a story about race in a country of contradictions. At its heart lies a tale of the power of community, love and three women for whom family is everything.","brand":"Hachette Books Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57943194206543,"sku":"9781529365023","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/nanny-ma-and-me","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
