Boys Don’t Cry by Fiona Scarlett

£9.99

Bookseller Review by Julie:

A heart-wrenching story narrated in two time frames by two brothers who inhabit a cruel, bleak world full of hardship set in inner-city Dublin – wonderfully written characters with truly authentic voices with a humour and hope which made me smile as well as sob! I couldn’t put this book down and the stories of Joe and Finn will stay with me. An impressive debut – highly recommended!

Description

‘I can’t remember ever reading anything so moving . . . It’s so beautiful.’ MARIAN KEYES

They say boys don’t cry. But Finn’s seen his Da do it when he thinks no one’s looking, so that’s not true. And isn’t it OK to be sad, when bad things happen? They say boys don’t cry, but you might . . .

What readers are saying: ‘Fiona Scarlett is certainly up there with the likes of Roddy Doyle . . . A beautifully written, authentic novel, that will make you both laugh and cry, I just want to recommend this book to everyone.’

‘This is a heartbreaking and very emotional novel that is exquisitely written. Fiona’s writing style helps to bring such raw emotion to the text that it was impossible to not shed a tear!’
