Marcus Conway has come a long way to stand in the kitchen of his home and remember the rhythms and routines of his life.

Not Bad
Maybe this book loses something in the listening as it seemed to me that it was more an exercise in technique rather than story-telling. It’s not bad and is well delivered by Tim Gerard Reynolds but, in the end, he is just relaying events, feelings, frustrations and observations that the majority of listeners will have already experienced for real. It reminded me of “Eileen” in as far as I kept waiting or something to happen.

A wonderful book, wonderfully read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the perfomance of the reader. It gave an insight into the beauty of a long term loving relationship and the local politics of Ireland during the recent recession.

Beautifully narrated
Not so much a story, more a gentle memory of family and passing of time.

I will now find and read it in a printed version, and look for other books he's written.

Perfect performance, gripping story
The narration really brings it all to life. The story touched my heart because it was real and full of gratitude: for life's frustrations as much as for its kindnesses and beauties.
