This is an enthralling story of an Irish childhood and youth, from Frank O'connor's birth in 1903 to the time of his release for prison after the Civil war in 1923, taking in his youth in Cork, his soft hearted ( if frequently drunk) father and wise mother, and his colourful grandmother. He was intimatley involved in the revolutionary era, and knew and gives his reading of the many figures he met.
Frank O'Connor is recognised as one of Ireland's best short story writers, and his skill as a writer shines through in this book.
