Synopsis
When Philo knocks on the door of the Good Shephard convent seeking sanctuary from her husband Tommo, it`s not just her own life she`s about to overhaul. Swearing and smoking like a trooper, she sticks out like a sore thumb amidst all that convent holiness, but to both the nuns and the OAPs at the day-care centre, whose bitternesses and loves have been simmering away for years, Philo`s earthiness and honesty bring just the kind of lifeforce they`ve been missing.
While fighting a battle with her weight and a war with social services, who`ve temporarily placed her children in a local orphange, Philo artlessly manages to heal social rifts that have split the community and her family for years. Sheridan`s charming debut novel is beautifully characterised and alive with the sights and sounds of Dublin`s North Wall. In turns moving, hilarious, raw and heart-warming, this gem of a story is hard to resist.
