The Most astonishing book... written in a style of stark, merciless tension, it tells the story of being raised in Dublin by an alcoholic mother and a charming, feckless father, and then deals with her own desperate search for truth, love and knowledge in Ireland and England over the past few decades. It is likely to become a classic of Irish autobiography.
I picked this book up at the famous little ROXY KINO in Gartenstadt, Nürnberg, in their Book Exchange. So far, I have been mesmerized: the writer and I are the same age; yet,her life experiences, growing up in Ireland, are so different from mine. I am deeply involved in her story, and shall return the book to the Roxy so that others can enjoy it!
