\u2018Garradrimma\u2019, in Co Westmeath has, like many places in Ireland, its own troubles - family breakdown, crisis pregnancy, and the likes - but there are two things that are slightly less usual about Garradrimma. The first is that it doesn\u2019t exist, it\u2019s a fictional place that exists only in writing\u2026 and the second is that all of those very 21st-century problems, were described in 1918. \nAll of these themes were in a book, The Valley of the Squinting Windows\u2026 which, as you might expect for a book dealing with such \u201cnon-traditional\u201d family values, was burned at the bonfires when it was published\u2026 \nAll of which sounds like a perfect topic for Hidden Histories with Donal Fallon.
