Paddy by Chris Curran
PADDY Do we ever know what s really going on in someone s head? Based on true events and set in the early 2000s, Paddy is a story about a young man from The Liberties in Dublin suffering with poor mental health, who travels to Amsterdam with his drug-dealing best friend and his anti-drugs activist brother. The consequences of the journey are life-changing for them all. The Liberties Trilogy is a series of stories about the values of characters who grew up in the heart of inner-city Dublin in the 1980s against the backdrop of high unemployment, a heroin epidemic, political corruption, an over-influential church, the Troubles and HIV/AIDS crisis. PRAISE FOR PADDY: Paddy is a remarkable insight into the social narrative of the time, charmingly walking the double-edged sword of great personal conflict and the Irish sense of humour. my sister-in-law If this book had been written in the eighties, it would have been banned. my friend Every parent should read this. - my sister A whirlwind of emotions. - my other sister It s very raunchy, Christopher. my 78-year-old aunt It made me cry. my other half| SKU | Unavailable |
