‘People say they’re too busy; they’re often too afraid’
ALICE CAREY has just landed in her home in West Cork from New York and is busy hoovering up the many spiders that have taken up residence in her absence. But she is fighting a losing battle. “The spiders win — always,” she laughs.
Carey’s formidable yet kindly presence can be felt down the phone line from her second home in Durrus. She has had a fascinating life, during which she has been a waitress, teacher, actress, model, blogger and writer. Her parents were both from Kerry but moved to the US, not just for economic reasons, she says.
