This is the story of a haunted Irish childhood. The setting is
Derry in the Northern Ireland of the 40s and 50s, fraught with
political hatred, family secrets and lethal intrigue. As a young
boy tries to make sense of life, poverty and violence shift and
obscure the facts; meanwhile his night-time reading of Irish
legends weaves enchantment through reality. Claustrophobic but
lyrically charged, breathtakingly sad but vibrant and
unforgettable, this is one of the finest books about growing up -
in Ireland or anywhere - that has ever been written. See also: The
Green Road by Anne Enright
