Description of We Were Rich and We Didn't Know It: A Memoir of My Irish Boyhood
Review 'You�don't have to be Irish to cherish this literary gift�just being human and curious and from a family will suffice.'��Malachy McCourt, New York Times bestselling author of A Monk Swimming'Other works have been situated at the same intersection of time and place, but rarely has the tale been told with such a charming simplicity of voice plus a vividness that fully captures the distinctive sound and pulse of Irish life.'��Billy Collins'Phelan's prose has an unpretentious beauty as he describes the farm, its routine and the people he remembers... With rich detail and sensitivity, We Were Rich�translates for us a rural world that has disappeared. And to assist townies like me, he appends a glossary.'��Star Tribune'Plain, honest, funny, occasionally sad and rich in material detail, this wonderful memoir [�] is the real thing.'��Newsday'A tender recollection of growing up on a farm in Ireland in the 1940s... a�captivating portrait of a bygone time.'��Kirkus Reviews, starred review'[A] series of tender and earnest anecdotes of coming-of-age in the rural Irish midlands of the 1940s� Phelan�s vivid images of his life on the farm and at school provide a rich and colorful snapshot of the times that shaped him.'��Publishers Weekly'An evocative memoir with echoes of Frank McCourt.'��Newsday'This might seem like a grim childhood, and to be sure at times it was, but Phelan also draws on the small victories, the love of the land and of family. At a time when we have so much and are satisfied with none of it, Phelan�s story is one of grace and beauty.'��CAYOCOSTA72'In this very interesting memoir, we are drawn into a strange world from another time. One would love to sit down with the characters that are described in scintillating detail...'��Irish Echo Read more About the Author Tom Phelan�had just turned fifty when his first novel,�In the Season of the Daisies, was accepted for publication.
