Biography
Mary Beckett born on 28 January 1926 in the family home at 48 Knutsford Drive, Belfast, the third of four children to Seán Beckett, a school principal, and his wife Catherine (née Bryson). [1]
"Critics have almost universally singled out Mary Beckett as an important chronicler of life in modern Ireland, and as a writer with a uniquely lyrical prose style. Give Them Stones has been called a "small miracle" and "immensely readable," and was awarded Ireland's Sunday Tribute 1987 Arts Award for Literature." Tabitha Sparks [2]
Mary Beckett " died on 10 November 2013 in Tallaght Hospital and was buried in Mount Venus cemetery, Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin."
