This account of an extended Irish emigrant
family’s experience in London from the early 1950s is thronged with prejudice,
illness, death, poverty, hunger, gambling, sexual repression and domestic
abuse. Despite this, what shines through is the warmth and loving nature of a
family, beautifully and delicately described by a fine writer.
