This is the first book that I had read by this author. The unique Irish wit shines through and it describes the onset of a particular illness with a lot of passion and undersatnding. This is a feel good read, it had me laughing , crying and thinking very hard about the main character........the author raises lots of situations, most that can be easily related to, as they occur in every day issues in life. Have now gone onto other books by this author and am looking forward to the same kind of stories
