At the Coalface: Recollections of a City and Country Priest

Fr Anthony Gaughan has experienced many aspects of life in the Archdiocese of Dublin during the past fifty years. His recollections provide a fascinating insight into the lives and work of Dublin priests during that period. Of particular interest are his shrewd, amusing and kindly, even critical, sketches of colleagues and others which will bring a smile to many a face. 'Fr Gaughan's life is full of incident and he tells his stories well_ At the Coalface is a book like Alice Taylor's To School Through the Fields, that makes you feel warm inside, glad to be a Christian and glad to be alive.'- The Irish Catholic.
