 | Born in a small, mean room at the beginning of the 20th century, precocious Henry transforms himself into a larger-than-life figure. He lives through the evolution of modern Ireland -- and eagerly, brilliantly tells his story.
From the courtship of his young mother and his father -- a one-legged, hard-drinking bouncer and sometime hit man -- to his own celebrated birth, recalled in vivid detail, from his childhood on the streets of Dublin to his role as soldier (and lover) in the Irish Rebellion, Henry recounts his early years of reckless heroism and adventure. Throughout, he tangles with an array of characters, both historical and fictional, including the mesmerizing schoolteacher-turned-gun-toiling Miss O'Shea, mysterious peppermint-scented madam Dolly Oblong, ruthless gangster Alfie Gandon, and Granny Nash, who has a miraculous and insatiable appetite for reading -- and doles out critical information to Henry in exchange for books.
At once an epic, a love story, and a portrait of Irish history, A Star Called Henry is a grand picaresque novel brimming with comic moments and poignant ones, and told in a voice that is both quintessentially Irish and inimitably Roddy Doyle's.
