Mickey Slabdabber, a Limerick Odyssey

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of 1935-1953 Ireland, this narrative explores the life of Michael Quinlan, a boy with dreams of becoming a painter. While facing the challenges of his hometown, which is less grim than Limerick in "Angela's Ashes," the story captures the richness of Irish culture through its linguistic flair, captivating anecdotes, and the impact of an unseen IRA on his upbringing. Amidst hardship, themes of art, music, theatre, and humor illuminate the enchanting aspects of his childhood and youth.
