About this product

Product Information

Woodbrook is a rare house that gives its name to a small, rural area in Ireland, not far from the old port of Sligo.In 1932 David Thomson, aged eighteen, went there as a tutor. This memoir, acknowledged as a masterpiece, grew out of two great loves - for Woodbrook and for Phoebe, his pupil. In it he builds up a delicate, lyrical picture of a gentle pre-war society, of Irish history and troubled Anglo-Irish relations, and of a delightful family. Above all, his story reverberates with the enchantment of falling in love and with the desolation of bereavement.
