44 SHERIDAN, PETER
United Kingdom Pan Macmillan 1999 033376594X / 9780333765944 Paperback
Good , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Light foxing to book. Review Sheridan was ten years old at the start of the 1960s, living in inner-city Dublin at 44 Seville Place. The opening of the new decade was marked by the arrival of the Sheridan family's first television set, the end of it by Northern Ireland erupting in violence. The poverty is nowhere near the level documented in Angela's Ashes, but these do seem very faraway days. There is no doubt that the 1960s marked the passing of an era in Ireland, and its belated entry into the 20th century. Through the minutiae of small incidents in a young boy's day-to-day life, Sheridan brings his experience of this strange past vividly to life. Humour and pathos intermingle, as an assortment of lodgers become part of the family, and young Peter discovers the magic of theatre, and slowly and sometimes painfully leaves his childhood behind.

Forty Four SHERIDAN, PETER
United Kingdom Pan Macmillan 2000 0330375113 / 9780330375115
Very Good , 8vo - 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Snow is falling all over Dublin. It is half an hour to the start of the New Year. On the rooftop of 44 Seville Place, a 10-year-old boy clings to a television aerial. His father urges him to turn the aerial towards England. The boy reaches up and in that moment, pictures from a foreign place beam into their home and change their lives forever. Thus begins this astonishing portrait of a Dublin family as they chart their way through the turbulent waters of the l960s. We exult in their triumphs and cry at their disasters, but at no time is laughter far from the surface. As Peter Sheridan follows his journey from boy to man, he reveals the confused adolescent in us all and shows us an individual and a society on the cusp of profound change."A brilliantly realised, almost novelistic, portrait of an urban working-class Irish childhood...remarkably honest, involving, compassionate" - "Scotsman". "A beautiful, touching, bittersweet account of inner-family life...A lively, turbulent and huge tale painted in vivid colour on a very simple canvas. I'm glad to have read it and so will you be." - Malachy McCourt, "Observer".
