Product Description
Take the ordinary life of an ordinary man and what do you get? A remarkable personal story told with disarming honesty and irresistible humour. The author grew up in Ireland in the fifties and sixties with 'Mad Mother' as the head of the household. He marries young, perhaps too young. The years pass and we see the good times when there is money and love in his life and the bad times when there is neither. He shares with us the happiness, the excitement, the anger, and the frustration, all of it punctuated by quotations from the many films he has seen. The film titles are like signposts in the passage of his life. There are other clues, too, which keep you reading on. There's going to be a 'crunch time', the 'payback'. But nothing can prepare you for the devastating personal tragedies when they finally come. This is a journey of self-discovery with a strong emotional pull for all of us. The author gives us, as promised, the beginning, the middle and the end. There is never a dull moment
