{"product_id":"pure-innocent-boy-2025","title":"Pure Innocent Boy [2025]","description":"Pure Innocent Boy ends in tragedy. It is one which could have easily been avoided, all that was needed was a bit more time and love from other members of his family to Tadhg. It is a novel which touches the heart. Pure Innocent Boy also offers a state of the nation view of Ireland as seen from the bottom of society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTadhg Kelly suffered a mental breakdown after his mother died. Now he is trying to find his way in a world where he no longer fits. He gets a job in the local toy shop and seems, on the surface, to be finding stability. But in truth he is drifting, and it is only a matter of time before he crashes again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTadhg’s brother Damien seems to have his own life together – married to Eileen, with two lovely little boys – but he’s got his own demons. And Eileen does her best to hold it all together, but sometimes it’s just too much.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTadhg’s father, a man of few words, has no time for his son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterspersing Tadhg’s diary entries with first-person accounts by Damien and Eileen, Pure Innocent Boy is a poignant, aching character study about masculinity, mental health and grief that slowly builds in power.","brand":"Dohert, Patrick","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52372009746771,"sku":"9781915568786","price":15.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/dohert-patrick-pure-innocent-boy-2025-9781915568786-1210177075.jpg?v=1764946637","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/pure-innocent-boy-2025","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
