What Are You Like: Malachy McCourt

Having read 'Angela's Ashes'I was surprised by the lighter tone of 'A Monk Swimming'...I suppose being the younger sibling Malachey did not have the burden of responsibility borne by the oldest child in a large Catholic family...I recently picked up i.e. bought a copy of 'Singing his Him Song' which has joined the queue of unread orphans on the bookcase...The title of 'A Monk Swimming' amade me laugh reminding me of a similar faux pas when teaching my brothers and sisters the 'Our Father'...!Scarleh...!
