Description
Hugo Hamilton's memoir recounts his summer working at a local harbour in Ireland during a time of great turmoil. Young Hugo struggles to reconcile his German and Irish heritage, haunted by the aftermath of World War II and the mysterious disappearance of his German cousin. As he navigates this complex past, Hugo rebels against his father's strict regime and discovers the excitement of rock and roll music, which becomes a source of solace in his troubled world. However, his job at the harbour entangles him in a bitter feud between two fishermen, one Catholic and one Protestant, and he is drawn into the unfolding drama. In this poignant and powerful memoir, Hamilton explores themes of identity, family, and history, weaving together a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
