Why read it?
1 author picked The Barrytown Trilogy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Here I am recommending three books in one, because I think they should be read one after the other in a single holiday week where the rain is pouring down outside and you can lock yourself away and completely disappear into Doyle’s working-class Dublin universe.

From Tim's list on upbeat books for tough times.
