About the Author

Catriona Travers was born and grew up in Dublin, Ireland. She went to school and college there, but unfortunately had to drop out of University due to her first episode of manic depression - for which she was hospitalised. She came to London in 1988, where she took a succession of temping jobs leading to switchboard operator jobs in hotels and hospitals. Her last job was as a supervisor and switchboard operator in a North London hospital. Catriona has always enjoyed writing; poetry in the eighties and a children's book in the nineties. Catriona also enjoys reading, tennis and drama.

Catriona evokes times and places with a peculiar skill, although these might ring familiar only with a select group of people of her own generation and background. Nonetheless a unique literary effort and a deeply personal account which the author shares with the reader. SWD has a timeless quality about it which I rather liked - definitely one of my better reads.
I very much enjoyed this real and honest memoir from Catriona Travers. The only criticism that I have is that there is quite a bit of repetition, a responsibility of the editor that is hopefully just confined to the kindle version which I read. I am impressed and awed by Travers’ power of recollection, some serious mental zumba at work there! Descriptions of childhood comics, traditions, sweets, and schoolisms particular to an Irish upbringing really brought me back and made me laugh loudly on my Metro commute. Also loved her observances from early 80’s UCD which I had largely forgotten, not having been of compos mentis myself in those days apparently! I do however vividly remember Catriona in my collegiate haze as being forthright, colorful, really witty and completely lacking in affectations. I picture her whinnying and neighing whenever she’d see her grand passion ‘Terry Green.’ She was always very positive despite everything that life dumped on her. I also remember visiting Catriona in John Of Gods. I often think of her and Google and Facebook search her occasionally, which is how I discovered this memoir. Hope our paths cross again Catriona, congratulations on this wonderful achievement and celebration of your uniqueness you ‘child of the Universe’ you! And above all keep on writing, how about a play next? – Deirdre (from Donegal and DC)
