Product Description
A novel of a small boy's life being reared in a south Donegal kitchen bar in the 1940s. The narrative of eight-year-old Conor in his small village during and after WWII provides a meticulous view of the expansive inner life and narrow outer life of rural Ireland. Though slow to begin, the novel captivates attention with the ongoing marital woes of Conor's parents, Jamie and Cassy; Conor's own unrequited love for the haughty Aisling; the rise in fortunes of Corner Jim; and the local bar talk of Nazi Germany's ``Go Balls and the Foorer''.
