About this audio guide
This guide to Nora Barnacle's House on Bowling Green in Galway follows a teenage girl in eighteen-nineties Galway and the boys who courted her, among them a university student from a sweetshop on Prospect Hill. It touches the nickname the town gave her, the tiny two-roomed house she shared with her mother and uncle, and the young Dublin writer she met after she left. Best heard standing at the front door on Bowling Green.
