Author Séamas O'Reilly talks to Borderlines hosts Freya McClements and Mary Minihan about growing up with his 10 siblings on the Border between Derry in Northern Ireland and Donegal in the Republic when the Troubles were on the wane.


The writer also reflects on the "bittersweet" experience of writing his bestselling memoir Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? as he unearthed new memories about his mother in the course of his research. He was five when she died.
