The book is divided into 3 sections: Maura's Boy describes the
first ten years of the life of Christy Kenneally, a working-class
Cork north-sider who lost his mother when he was five years old.
The book is as much about the place as the narrator, and
beautifully conveys the sense of a lost golden age. Kenneally's new
material tells the story of life after coming to grips with the
death of his mother. The New Curate picks up the narrative when
Kenneally is twenty-four and is appointed chaplain to 'The
Incurable', St Patrick's Hospital on Wellington Road. The account
of his three years there with terminal cancer patients and his
other job as spiritual director for five Cork secondary schools
makes an unforgettable story which combines laughter and sorrow -
and an occasional miracle.
