If you liked Kevin Arnold in the Wonder Years and Bill Bryson's Thunderbolt Kid, then this book is for you. It is a warm reflection on growing up in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the Fifties and Sixties before the spectre of the "Troubles" raised its ugly head. It looks at defining moments in childhood such as learning to ride one's first bicycle, first day at school, playing street games that no longer exist, first love etc. etc. There is an element of impishness in the central character. Be with him as he shows off his newly learned swear words in front of his mother's friends, how he kills his pet goldfish with whiskey and how he also nearly kills his six month old sister as he force feeds her candy to stop her crying. He also innocently sets fire to a priest and hibernates for the winter - well tries to anyway.
It is set in a time of innocence when play stations and multi channel television did not exist. It will bring you back to your own childhood. You will probably shed a tear and you most definitely will laugh out loud. Order it in paperback or Kindle format from Amazon.
