Yesterday’s Sunday Independent carries a three-page extract from Tony Holohan’s memoir We need to Talk, which will be published on Thursday.
Tony Holohan is the former chief medical officer in the State and we all know him for his public persona during the Covid crisis.
If you have thrown the newspaper in the bin and have not read his story, please go back to your bin, take out the paper and read it.
It is a wonderful read about his wife Emer, their two children Clodagh and Ronan and about him too.
It is the story of his wife’s cancer, the misdiagnosis, the long years of suffering and her eventual death.
How did this man do what he did during the pandemic and at the same time care for his wife and two young children?
This book is up there with Henry Marsh’s Do No Harm.
It’s a touching account, so honest, so readable. Thank you Tony Holohan.
Is it my imagination or what but I get the distinct impression the quality at Independent Newspapers has greatly improved under the stewardship of Mediahuis, who are now the owners of the group.
