Ill Tell Me Ma A Childhood Memoir by Brian Keenan

Brian Keenan has captured the vanished world of 1950s Belfast in all its vivid vernacular and grey, post-war austerity. It was also a place of ghosts: the plague dead in the cemeteries, the family dead in the scrapbooks. After Brain's father's death and his mother's Alzheimer's, Belfast itself becomes a ghost city to Brian.
Brian Keenan was born in Belfast in 1951. An Evil Cradling is the story of his four years' captivity in Beirut and is recognized as a non-fiction classic. He is also the author of the novel, Turlough and two travel books, Between Extremes (with John McCarthy) andFour Quarters Of Light. He lives with his family outside Dublin.
