I love this graphic. Brilliant to be the Radio Times Book Club selection for May. The BBC Radio 4 adaption continues this week and next. The novel is £1.99 on Kindle at the moment. The US launch is tomorrow in New York, I'm whizzing my way there right now. Over and out.

Fascinating uses of visual material to get at history. Emily Mark-FitzGerald shows us some of the very first photos of Dublin and Jessica Poulin uses a painting to reveal the changing lives of Irish Canadians at the Canadian Association for Irish Studies Annual Meeting.

I was lucky enough to attend a  brilliant keynote from Cormac Moore recently in Toronto. His book Root of All Evil: The Irish Boundary Commission is essential to anyone interested in the story of how Ireland's border was supposed to be redrawn, and why it was not.
