'All In' by Peter O'Mahony is a captivating and honest memoir on his rugby career, leadership and family. The book gives a candid insight of the life experiences that helped shape who he is, on and off the pitch. 🏉 #rugby #westcork #clonakilty #kerrsbookshop

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Two books talking 
Younger book  "What's happening?"
Older book  "The wheel of life has turned, my child... Our time on the front table of the bookshop is over, and, like brave birds flying south for the winter, we summer books must journey back to the shelves."

Younger book "But I like it here!"
Older book "All things must pass. The beach reads table you knew is already gone. The time of autumn books is upon us." 

Younger book "Will we ever return?" 
Older book "The cycle is eternal: the Christmas bestsellers and prize nominees will come and go, but people will always want something nice to read on holiday."
