Reviews

All the endearing pieces of a rambunctious family memoir, told expertly and wittily by the narrator. Experiences of death and grief at a young age intertwined with admiration for the author's father and reflection on the settings both small and large. I had not finished my gigantic nonfiction account of The Troubles before it was due back to the library, but was still yearning to hear those stories, so this is the perfect entry into it. The audiobook is a must!

I have no idea what I just listened to besides the fact that someone’s mother has died. The narrator didn’t even seem that interested in reading this book. I just don’t think this book is for me. Maybe more for an Irish person or someone connected to their Irish roots.

(ALC received from NetGalley in exchange for honest review. Thank you.)
