What an extraordinary tale.Author Jack McNamara has been paid a huge sum of money as an advance of royalties for three novels. Unfortunately Jack is deeply depressed and has been unable to write a single word.Desperate to discover the reason for his depression and get back to writing, Jack reflects upon his past, particularly focusing  on events that occurred during the summer of 1961.................................................................................................................This is a truly outstanding book. With such powerful prose and exquisite attention to detail, Bill Cronin truly excels and delivers the authenticity necessary to really bring alive the characters, enabling the reader to experience a whole gamut of emotions as they journey with Jack McNamara through his life from 1961 onwards.You'll be captivated from page one and unable to even pause for breath until the very last page.This is a real masterclass in writing that I would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.
