Description
A Star Called Henry by Roddy Doyle is a gripping and intense novel about growing up in Dublin's slums in 1901. Born into poverty, Henry Smart faces harsh realities from an early age, forced to fend for himself on the streets. As he navigates this unforgiving environment, Henry becomes embroiled in the Irish struggle for independence, eventually joining the Irish Citizen Army and becoming a rebel fighter. With his father's wooden leg as his weapon, Henry earns a reputation as a fearless and deadly opponent. This powerful and unflinching portrayal of life on the streets during World War I is a testament to Roddy Doyle's masterful storytelling and his ability to bring the past to vivid life.
