I'm a very interesting person'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rory \u0026amp; Ita, Roddy Doyle's first non-fiction book, tells - largely in their own words - the story of his parents' lives. They remember every detail of their Dublin childhoods - the people, the politics, idyllic times in the Wexford countryside for Ita, Rory's apprenticeship as a printer. By the time they put down a deposit of two hundred pounds for a house in Kilbarrack, Rory was working as a compositor at the \u003ci\u003eIrish Independent\u003c\/i\u003e. By the time the first of their four children was born he'd become a teacher, at the School of Printing in Dublin. Kilbarrack began to change, and Ireland too. Through their eyes we see the intensely Catholic society of their youth being transformed into the vibrant, modern Ireland of today.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Both are marvellous talkers, so combined with Roddy Doyle's legendary skill in illuminating ordinary experience, Rory \u0026amp; Ita makes for a book of tremendous warmth and humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doyle, Roddy, Family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780099449225\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doyle, Roddy","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":48027884355761,"sku":"SB-0099449226-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0099449226.jpg?v=1791939224","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/rory-ita","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
