Reading in the Dark
Seamus Deane Audio Book

A haunted childhood, lived out in two dimensions. One is legendary: a child’s fantasy-land. The other is actual: the city of Derry in the Northern Ireland of the 40s and 50s. The boy narrator grows up in these two worlds, sensing that they are intertwined in some mysterious ways... Lyrically charged, this is one of the finest books about growing up that has ever been written.
