Liam Nolan In and Out of the Shadow
Brandon Books 1988-01 1902011058 / 9781902011059 Hardcover Fine
1902011058 1902011058 Clean, tight and unmarked. Synopsis This moving autobiographical novel is a vivid account of a 10-year-old boy's life and sentiments, growing up in the southern Irish port of Cobh during the war. At the centre of his experience is the personal and communal trauma of a tragic accident in the harbour. The effect on his emotions is compounded by the toll of losses of shipping to U-Boats, by constant reports of the progress of the war, and by the sight of explosions at sea off nearby Roche's Point. He becomes obsessed with death, God, the sea and poverty. But all is not sorrow, and in this warmly human novel there is a sparkling evocation of the joys of music, laughter, compassion, love and mischief. This is a memorable story of a young boy emerging from the shadow of tragedy, a triumphant first novel which will stay in the mind long after it is read.
