A forgettable sort of story told by an 8-year-old narrator with no name we ever learn, about a dysfunctional and fairly uninteresting Irish immigrant family in New York City long ago...very early 20th century, I would guess. Some incidents are mildly amusing, or touching; occasionally the child's perspective on adult behavior is engaging, but mostly I found this book just sad and pointless.
