Il va ainsi atterrir dans une famille bien singulière, embrigadée dans la rancune, la jalousie, la folie, la peine, où lamour trouve parfois sa place, mais rarement la bonté. Dans cet univers baigné par la crainte du péché, surtout celui de la chair, la mère de James ne vit que pour expier ses fautes passées. Avec le temps, la colère farouche de James vis-à-vis une grand-mère tout à fait antipathique se commue peu à peu en attachement. Heureusement quil y a aussi loncle Paddy, la tendresse incarnée, pour insuffler un peu de joie dans cette nouvelle vie aride. Élevé à la dure, James sera donc appelé à se battre avec acharnement pour obtenir sa liberté de corps et desprit au tournant de lâge adulte." -- 4e de couvStuck in the 70's
