The final part in the trilogy that began with a Star Called Henry followed on by Oh, Play That Thing. it's now 1951 and Henry arrives back in Ireland after nearly 30 years ,with him is the movie producer John Ford who hires Henry as an advisor on a film he is making titled The Quiet Man which is losely based on Henry's life.Full of incidence and coincidence Roddy Doyle has written a major work based on the troubles and their resolution but keeping that deft touch that won him the Booker Prize for Paddy Clarke . I thought I wasn't going to like this book because of the subject matter but the part about making the movie is sheer genius and it drove me back to the internet to rewatch the clips for the Quiet Man. All in all I would recommend that you sit and read all three novels one after the other to get the breadth and cleverness of the whole story.
