"Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?" by Séamas O'Reilly

book review by Riley Burnham 7/24/2024

well this was pretty darned good

a story about family, about loss & how it's dealt w/

Séamas is one of 11 siblings, & his mother passed when he was just five -- leaving the dad to manage the troupe

we hear about the various ways people vie for attention, & how they all cope -- how the dad organized VHS collections he recorded from the TV; how Séamas is treated in school, etc.

all around, it's super personal & is a good listen 👍
