Description: "Conor O'Donnell's world - the world he will 'make' from the 'clink and chatter' of encircling adults - is that of a small boy being reared in a south Donegal kitchen bar in the 1940s. Yet by using a kaleidoscope of shifting impressions - of singing and drinking, of rambling arguments about the war, of the electrifying rows between Conor's mismatched parents - Hugh Carr reintroduces us to the emotional and imaginative life that children live, inside and beyond the world of mere facts."--BOOK JACKET.
