This book shows an extremely real, tense and emotionally raw account of growing up and living in rural Ireland. Themes of isolation, parental expectations, parental relationships and marriage. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an insight into Irish life and culture in the late 1900s, early 2000s.

Some stories are 5/5 while one or two are 4s. More stories than not end up lodged firmly in your mind. A desperately good writer.
