Dinah O' Dowd19 Jan 2007
“Growing up, I was always very aware of my mother’s suffering but there was clearly so much I didn’t know and this book brought me to tears almost from the first page.” …Boy George from the foreward to his mum’s new memoir, Cry Salty Tears.

Dinah O’ Dowd joins Martha Kearney to talk about being a young, single mum in 1950s Dublin, surviving a brutal marriage and being mother to one of the UK’s favourite gender benders.

Dinah O' Dowd, Cry Salty Tears published by Century, ISBN 1846050871
