By Christine Dwyer Hickey
Hailed by the critics as a masterpiece, Tatty is a devastating, yet hilarious, depiction of a troubled Dublin family told through the lively, charismatic voice of a little girl.
With brutal honesty, Tatty tells the story of her life with her beloved, feckless Dad, her tormented Mam, her five siblings and the booze that brings them down. This not just an entertaining tale, but also a heartbreaking account of a disturbed childhood that makes for compulsive reading.
This is the story of a disturbed childhood, yet it is also filled with humour and love. Chapter by chapter, the child’s voice matures and her perception becomes more honed; we are left with a stunning portrait of a disintegrating family and the child lost within it.
Tragic, funny and utterly unsentimental, Christine Dwyer Hickey’s “Tatty” is a devastating, affecting journey into the mind of a child. With the brutal clarity and touching honesty of a child, “Tatty” tells the story of her alcoholic family. The result is a stunning portrait of a disintegrating family and the child lost within it.
