Irish Art of It’ll be Grand by Justine Stafford

In Ireland, to say “I’m grand” can range from meaning “I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown” to “I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been in my life”. It is our catch-all term so as not to burden the other person too negatively or positively. (Because we are very sound like that.)

With quotes and lessons from famous Irish characters – both historical and fictional – and chocked full of charming stories from the Emerald Isle, this tongue-in-cheek guide to life is the perfect antidote to Murphy’s Law, bestowing a deep assuredness that life always seems to work itself out eventually.
