À propos de cet audio

The Outside Boy is a poignant coming-of-age novel about an Irish gypsy boy’s childhood in the 1950s from Jeanine Cummins, the national best-selling author of A Rip in Heaven and American Dirt.

Ireland, 1959: Young Christopher Hurley is a tinker, a Pavee gypsy, who roams with his father and extended family from town to town, carrying all their worldly possessions in their wagons. Christy carries with him a burden of guilt as well, haunted by the story of his mother's death in childbirth.

The wandering life is the only one Christy has ever known, but when his grandfather dies, everything changes. His father decides to settle briefly, in a town, where Christy and his cousin can receive proper schooling and prepare for their first communions. But still, always, they are treated as outsiders.

As Christy struggles to find his way amid the more conventional lives of his new classmates, he starts to question who he is and where he belongs. But then the discovery of an old newspaper photograph, and a long-buried secret from his mother's mysterious past, changes his life forever....

This is now one of my favorite books I am going to recommend to my friends.
Also, after listening this book I learned more from other sources about the ethnic group known as Irish Travellers (Pavees) and their life today.

Beautiful story, great performance!

Good story that teaches about the travellers community. How they lived amongst the other communities. Heartfelt plot and easy listen.

Masterful storytelling, an unforgettable hero and emotionally wrenching - Jeanine Cummins' book, The Outside Boy, brought to mind the stories of Dickens and DH Lawrence.

I cannot say enough good about this story. The characters, each one, are carefully thought out and by the end of the story I did not want it to end. The VO narration was probably the best I have ever heard. Bravo! Beautifully matched with the storyline.
