Description
The Journey Home by Dermot Bolger is a powerful coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of Dublin's urban landscape. Francis Hanrahan, a shy boy from suburban streets, finds himself drawn to a world of drugs, nightlife and rebellion.
As he navigates this tough and often corrupt environment, Francis must confront his own identity and the expectations placed upon him by those around him. With its vivid portrayal of urban life in 1970s Ireland, The Journey Home is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of masculinity, belonging and the struggle for self-discovery.
