The Faloorie Man by Eugene Mceldowney

Tracing the early years of Martin McBride, a young Catholic boy growing up on the streets of Belfast, THE FALOORIE MAN is a stark, funny, and at times heart-wrenching tale of sectarian division and fervent devotion. As Martin emerges from the cocoon of his parents' love, he faces a world of unpredictability and surprise: the shocking discovery of the crucial difference between boys and girls, the scrapes of street and schoolyard, the rigours of education, Teddy-boy mania, and the dubious pleasures of illicit sex. But the accidental discovery of a darkly hidden truth suddenly turns Martin's world upside-down...
