Reviews
On Oct 6 2014, The Old Library Bookshop said:
I like this book, but I love Rory and Ita. I've long been a fan of Roddy Doyle and now I see that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. The author arranged the book so that his parents, Ita (nee Boylan) and Rory Doyle speak in their own words in alternating chapters, often giving two points of view of a single event. The picture they paint of their families, their marriage, and their country is vivid and endearing. Surprisingly, they speak very little of their most illustrious child, Roddy, and not at all of how his fame affected their lives--the author's choice, I feel sure. The result is that Roddy Doyle has succeeded in painting a loving portrait of a couple who have survived into old age with their love and good humor intact.
