Lost in Cabbagetown by Terry Burke
From the tenements of Dublin to the slums of Toronto, Terry Burke paints a graphic picture of his boyhood, as part of an Irish immigrant family struggling to survive on the streets of Cabbagetown, at the beginning of the 1960s.
Reading Lost In Cabbagetown is a powerful experienceTerry Burke transports you back in time, giving you an intimate glimpse into life in the laneways of Cabbagetown in the days before it became one of Toronto's most affluent neighbourhoods. It's a vital and timely reminder of the harrowing stakes involved in carving a place out for yourself as a new arrival in the city, an unvarnished tale of love, loss and determination. * Adam Bunch, author of The Toronto Book of Love *
Terry Burke immigrated to Toronto’s Cabbagetown in the late 1950s. His two previous books, Cold War Soldier and Under the Blue Beret, deal with his time in the military. He is retired and living in London, Ontario.
