Eibhlís Ní ShúilleabháinEibhlís married Seán Ó Criomhthain, a son of Tomás Ó Criomhthain, An tOileanach (The Islandman). On her marriage, she lived in the same house as the Islandman and nursed him during the last years of his life, which are described in the letters. Begining in 1931, when the island was still a place where one might marry and raise a family (if only for certain exile in America), the letters end in 1951 with the author herself in exile on the mainland and the old folk of the island scattering to their graves.
