'The Oldest Woman in the World' is a story about the life of a Portlaw-born man, Sean Thornton who spent many years working as a reporter for an Irish newspaper before becoming a reporting investigator for the very first edition of 'The Guinness Book of Records' in 1955. Sean's task for an edition of the annual records book was to seek out and confirm the identity of the oldest person in the world. He eventually does that, but not in time to include the factual data in the record book. In later years, he is greatly surprised that the oldest person in the world and himself share a mutual connection and that she finished up living much closer to Portlaw than Sean would ever have imagined!
