It is 1968. Paddy Clarke is ten years old, breathless with discovery. He reads with a child's voraciousness, collecting facts the way adults collect grey hairs and parking tickets. Doyle captures the speech patterns of childhood brilliantly, the weird logic of the incessant questions, the non-sequiturs and wonderments . . . Like all great comic writers, Roddy Doyle has become an explorer of the deepest places of the heart, of love and pain and loss.
A truthful, hilarious, painful and superb recreation of a childhood.
