Summary
Hailed by the critics as a masterpiece, Tatty is a devastating yet hilarious depiction of a troubled Dublin family, told through the lively, charismatic voice of a little girl over a 10-year period.
During this time we see the destruction brought about by alcoholism as one little girl tries to come to terms with her parents’ drinking. This is the story of a disturbed childhood, yet it is also filled with humour and love. Chapter by chapter, the child’s voice matures and her perception becomes more honed; we are left with a stunning portrait of a disintegrating family and the child lost within it.

It is good but not a Masterpiece.
Tatty is almost painful to listen to towards the end. The pain and insanity of a child living with alcoholism is brilliantly written.
A must for anyone interested in identifying or in recovery from addiction.

So disappointed with the open end!!
Was really good listening to this book but it feels like it ended halfway through! Is there another book to tell us what happened next??

A little masterpiece
A book I shall return to again and again. A story which is both poignant and uplifting told with such grace through the eyes of a loving child growing up in a dysfunctional family.

Powerful insight to a child’s suffering.
I was blown away by the power and the harsh truth of this book. Brilliantly told and narrated.
