Jacket Notes: The story of Frank O'Connor is that of a shy child from a Cork slum who becomes aware that there is something beyond the confines of his life and the lives around him, something grander. And with resolve and labor, he makes his way toward it. From his childhood to the time of his release from imprisonment as a revolutionary, O'Connor conveys the moral fortune and the tragic elements of life, that sparked his storytelling - a life he describes as a "celebration of those who for me represented all I should ever know of God".

Description

Frank O'Connor was a shy child from a Cork slum who somehow became aware that there was something grander beyond his life and the lives around him.

"Frank O'Connor's early life of Michael O'Donovan belongs with the best of its kind. It is that of a man who has made his life important to others simply because he has written about it with art". -- Times Literary Supplement
