Description

Dan Murray's story is one of emigration and perseverance. In 1952, he left Ireland for England, taking up work as a building labourer before eventually becoming a successful contractor. John B. Keane brings to life the turbulent world of Irish contractors and labourers in this tale of hard work and determination. Keane's writing style is known for its accuracy and humour, capturing the bawdy, anarchic spirit of his subjects. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who made their way to England in search of opportunity. With 319 pages, this paperback edition provides an engaging read for anyone interested in the experiences of Irish immigrants in post-war England.
