Produktbeschreibung

Tom is a poet and storyteller and many of his adventures are enhanced by his poems which flow naturally with the narrative. Beginning with his early days in Ballynanty, the reader is invited to join Tom as he observes his younger self on life's journey. Some events which are pivotal to the story include schooldays, learning to be a boxer, journeys to work in England, falling in love and starting his business. There are tough times as well as happy ones with much hard work to be done but throughout the adventure, Susie, Tom's Mum, is there in a leading role.

If readers have lived through these times with Tom, they will enjoy his telling of the tale. If not, Tom will take them time travelling to a Limerick and a world unrecognisable from today's viewpoint; and Tom does not shut any doors on the reader, always inviting you inside with him. As characters are recreated, they take on a new life and you, the reader, will find yourself eagerly searching for a few more pages to turn as you near the last word.
If you love life and if you love Limerick, this is the book for you!

Autorenporträt

I was fifty six years old when I first heard of the readings at The White House bar in O'Connell St, Limerick. When I submitted my name to read there for the first time Mr Barney Sheehan and Dominic Taylor welcomed me with open arms. That was eleven years ago and my memoir Susie's Son is my first real publication. Reading at the White House each week and at the 'On the Nail' Literary Gathering in The Locke Bar once a month has broadened my horizons on writing, reciting and performing poetry. My achievements to date are minimal but the satisfaction is enormous.
