'A wholly delightful family memoir of lace-curtain Protestants in 1950s rural Ireland - an Irish seam that is rarely tapped for its considerable riches' - William Trevor, Guardian, Books of the Year Set in 1950s rural Ireland, Rathcormick is an engaging tale of a large and happy family- a stern and domineering Papa, a warm and practical Mama, 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. With an introduction by William Trevor and drawings by Jeremy Wiliams.
