A Star Called Henry

by Roddy Doyle

  • LITERATURE
  • 2004

The Irish wars of independence and the Dublin slums of the early 20th century provide the backdrop for Doyle's gritty, swashbuckling tale about a boy who enlists in the army at age 14 and wields his father's peg leg as a weapon, soon finding himself at the center of the 1916 Easter Rising and the fledgling Irish Republican Army.  (IRE254, $16.00)
