For Homan, the youngest, life is a free-spirited awakening in an adult world of old-fashioned virtue and frugality. He recalls the moment that the day-old chicks arrived, holidays in Kilkee and the eight-mile trudge to school. But no boyhood lasts forever, and an abrupt turn of events signals an end to the idyll.Critic Reviews:"A wholly delightful family memoir of Protestants in 1950s rural Ireland an Irish seam that is rarely tapped for its considerable riches." (William Trevor, Guardian)"Not a wet miserable childhood, á la Frank McCourt, but a Protestant childhood and one that makes for hugely enjoyable reading."
