Set in 1950s rural Ireland, Rathcormick is the utterly engaging story of one Protestant family, the stern, imperious Papa and the placating, wily Mamma, their two daughters and six sons. For Homan, the youngest, life is a free-spirited awakening in a world of old-fashioned virtue and frugality. But no boyhood lasts forever, and an abrupt turn of events signals an end to the idyll. Rathcormick is an unforgettable memoir: funny, compelling and original.
