About this product

Product Information

A heart-rending memoir of a deprived childhood in 1950s and '60s Dublin that will both horrify and inspire Born a bastard to a teenage mother in the slums of 1950s Dublin, Martha has to be a fighter from the very start.As her mother moves from man to man, and more children follow, they live hand-to-mouth in squalid, freezing tenements, clothed in rags and forced to beg for food. But just when it seems things can't get any worse, her mother meets Jackser.Despite her trials, Martha is a child with an irrepressible spirit and a wit beyond her years. She tells the story of her early life without an ounce of self-pity and manages to recreate a lost era in which the shadow of the Catholic Church loomed large and if you didn't work, you didn't eat.Martha never stops believing she is worth more than the hand she has been dealt, and her remarkable voice will remain with you long after you've finished the last line.

Great Book... Had me gripped from the start
I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend... I love it... I'm going to probably end up buying more from this Author.. I'm now recommending to my family and friends and I'm sure there'll be a few more sold in the near future.
