Publisher's Synopsis
When Eileen O'Casey read "Juno and the Paycock" in 1926, she was so overwhelmed by its tragi-comedy that she returned to England to meet its author. That meeting was the beginning of a 37-year love affair that endured celbrity and sorrow, through happy and hard-up days until O'Casey's death in 1964.;Eileen's portrait complements the bitter passion of the plays and offers a further dimension to O'Casey's own autobiographies.
