This book is a collection of
stories from a boy growing up in Dublin in the 1950’s. It shows the wonderful
relationships between children and parents of a lost era. There are insights of
what life was like growing up in Ireland and I love the relationship he has
with his father. I am not really one for these types of books and at times I felt
I was simply being told a list of what had happened, but when he opened up
about more personal matters I really became involved. Regardless of the
content, the author always managed to keep the humour, which really worked.
If memories are your thing, it
really is worth a read.
