Paddy Boy by Patrick O'flaherty, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Paddy Boy is Patrick O’Flaherty’s lively memoir of childhood in a small secluded Newfoundland community, covering the years 1939-54. This time is most unique because it is a bridge between the old Newfoundland with its curious links to England, Ireland, and Scotland, and its new status, after 1949, as a province of Canada. O’Flaherty reimagines just what that lost world was like, how children figured into it, how his family and other families functioned and what part religion played. | Paddy Boy by Patrick O'flaherty, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
