Product Description

Synopsis
Tracey is a tough streetwise 22-year-old born to a middle-class English woman. All she knows about her father is his name, Eoin MacSweeney, and that he was a travelling fiddle-player from Donegal. When her mother dies, Lisa hears by chance that MacSweeney is still alive and sets off to find him.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is amazing, 16 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Father's Music (Paperback)
I can't believe that nobody has reviewed this book yet!! To say that this is one of the finest novels to be written in the 90's would be an understatement. I couldn't put this book down when I started to read it and recommend to anybody who enjoys good fiction. The plot has plenty of twists, the writing is wonderfully emotive and I almost cried in places. This is adult fiction at its finest-warm, gritty, heart-warming and shocking. Buy this book and enhance your life!

5.0 out of 5 stars The sins of the father..., 26 May 2009
By Binro The Heretic "mattieboyz" (Hillsborough, Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Father's Music (Paperback)
Dermot Bolger's chief Irish literary contemporaries are Patrick McCabe and Roddy Doyle, and between the three of them there are enough superb novels to keep any reader happy for quite some time.
Father's Music concerns a troubled young English woman named Tracey Evans, who meets a mysterious but charming Irishman, Luke, and quickly uncovers a world of deceit and violent crime. Tracey, needy as she is, blinds herself to the fact that Luke's criminal past is not really in the past, and as events unfold, tragedy looms up out of the mist and strikes at the heart of Tracey's `new life'.
A novel about Irish life and about the innate human need for love and physical affection; Father's Music is a disturbing but powerful and important novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars utterly excellent, 4 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Father's Music (Paperback)
This book must be read a.s.a.p. by anyone who loves what? God, the plot is masterfully crafted, the characters are revealed through a series of some of the most skilful handlings of time I've ever read, it's all credible and yes, as Declan says, it'll bring tears.

WOW!
