  The Irish are such wonderful storytellers and this book is no exception. It's a memoir of growing up in Ulster in the 1960's -- her father and mother and their characters, and all the characters in the family and in the town. The only part I felt that it fell down a little was near the end where she talked about her own growth and coming to terms with her childhood, but did not talk about how that happened for her. Perhaps she will write another book that continues her own story of how she became an artist and escaped to lead a different life.
  
  The writing style is beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

  Loved two of her other books. This one is a bit autobiographical, which I usually like, but the first couple chapters all she does is point out wrongs she perceived done to her starting at age 3 and how they "ruined" her childhood.
  Sorry, crabby teachers and parents that aren't perfect are not enough reason for a book of "woe is me".
  Very, very disappointing.

  some memories traumatic a few cherished good memories.We all have them . I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I devour anything about Ireland. I,m not sure why,I,m not Irish. I,'ve dreamt of a stone cottage by the sea. Dreams so vivid I can hear the gravel on the beach crunch beneath my feet !
