Summary
Set in Ireland in the early 1960s. Francie Brady is a schoolboy who must figure life out or himself as his mother is in and out of "the garage," and his father is always drunk. Francie is especially hard on… the Nugents, particularly after Philip Nugent's mother says the Bradys are no better than pigs. And Francie can't forget a song his mother sang about a girl who commits suicide over a butcher boy. Strong language and some descriptions of violence. 1992.
