Publisher's Summary
What makes Life in Kilrush so appealing is that it is not just the account of one man’s journey back to his childhood, but it is an exploration of a unique and quaint town and its distinctive inhabitants, in an era that we often wish we could return to; a more honest and straightforward time. One would almost mistake it for a simpler time, but this story defies that simplification. Joe Riley’s memoir resonates with many of us who wish we could understand what events and people in our life shaped us and affected our emotional life.
English born Joe Riley recounts his extraordinary childhood in a small town on the rugged West coast of Ireland, where he was abandoned by his abusive father at the age of four and raised by a loving older couple and their children.
Emotionally unsettled for most of Joe Riley’s adulthood, Joe feels inspired to revisit his childhood and write a memoir.
