Mccoubrey

Drab, bleak Portadown, 1971, where Catholics are kept in their place, seen through the eyes of innocent, bright, mischievous and droll Barry-Joe McCoubrey, on the cusp of his teens reflecting on his own life, his family, his troubled neighbourhood—and girls. This is a hilarious and immensely moving coming-of-age novel from Mark B. McCaffery.
