I enjoyed it but I have read some of his other books and he was one of my Psychology lecturers in my first year at sheffield so it was a bit of a trip down memory lane for me as well.

Found this in a charity shop in Ireland and gave it a go.
I'm interested by what he had to say as i was born there.
Has obviously done a lot of research into his family life in Belfast.
He gives a very honest opinion of life during the troubles.

A psychologist and writer and Irishman in exile explores his family tree. Saying goodbye to Mum is a warm and moving sub narrative. This is also an investigation into how semantics and linguistics perpetuate hostile momentum and the inertia of war. Sublime. Wonderful. Bravo Geoff!
