Mary O’Rourke, former minister, deputy leader of her party and leader of the Seanad, looks back over her life in her latest book Letters From My Life, which is made up of 20 letters to people who have made an impression on her. Many of the letters concern the political career which once consumed Mary, but there are also moving letters about her deepest losses in life and how she emerged from them, with inspiring words on how life has flourished and renewed itself once again in her later years. Mary joins us at Hinterland to tell us the stories behind some of these letters.
