: "It is the story of grown-ups at the mercy of life and children at the mercy of grown-ups, and Frank's lyrical Irish voice is seductive and hilarious. You won't know whether to weep or roar, and you will find yourself doing both at once!" SO so very true, and even if you have read the book get the cassette or cd and listen .. If you grew up with Irish born parents (like I did) you will hear many of the sayings and language they used and some of it still filters down through us ... ..Frank did a wonderful job in reading, so natural ... Wonderful .. MaryPat
