A tender and quietly powerful memoir tracing one man’s life through changing times, from rural Ireland to Apartheid-era South Africa, love, loss, and resilience.
'Of Little Consequence' is the deeply personal story of David G Kidd, born the youngest of six children on a bustling farm in 1950s County Wexford. From hayfields filled with laughter and mischief to the discipline of Dublin boarding school, this memoir offers a nostalgic and authentic glimpse into post-war Irish life.
David’s journey carries him far beyond the fields of Wexford — through a brief military stint, a professional career in Quantity Surveying, and into the turbulent backdrop of Apartheid South Africa, where he meets the woman who would become his wife.
But this is not just a story of place and politics — it is one of family, fatherhood, and finding strength after loss. With honesty and gentle wit, David recounts raising two daughters as a widower, rebuilding life through remarriage, and the everyday trials and rewards that define a life well-lived.
Written for his children and future generations, Of Little Consequence is a moving testament to memory, love, and enduring hope — a story for anyone who values the extraordinary within the ordinary.
