Pulditch: A rare, powerful, funny and poignant story of working-class lives in Ireland in the later half of the 20th century.

by Henry Hudson

PULDITCH is a powerful, funny and often poignant study of ordinary Irish people living through extraordinary times and challenges. Timmy Talbot battles to hold the line at work while his fearless wife, Patsy, battles years of ignorance and oppression while searching for a mysterious nun and a friend who had vanished without trace. Peopled with a tapestry of matchless characters this is a rare ‘on the deck’ version of those years and a must-read for anyone interested in a unique version of times and events that shaped and haunt Ireland to the present day. Set between nineteen fifty-eight and eighty-three it ranges from freezing cold building sites, to pain-filled mother and baby homes, to the trials and triumphs of living in a run-down tenement house. Written by an author who lived these experiences this unique book will make readers laugh, cheer, cry and above all, give them a unique insight into a harsh but fascinating time in Irish social history

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley. Thank you, Netgalley. I thought this book a little dull. Not very interesting.
