Literature & Fiction

Humor & Satire

With his trademark wit and honesty, Peter Sheridan has written an enthralling account of his parents` relationship, from their first encounter over a poker game in a Dundalk canteen to their final, happy days together in retirement. But all was not as straightforward as it appeared for when Peter`s father died suddenly, it became painfully evident that an awkward situation needed to be resolved. Since the 1940s, Peter`s father had maintained a relationship with another woman, Doris. Their correspondence spanned five decades and Doris had long harboured the secret hope that Peter`s father would one day be hers. Someone would have to tell her about the death of her old friend... At turns humorous and heartbreaking, Forty-Seven Roses is the unforgettable tale of a love that can transcend even overpowering odds. It`s the account of a marriage dogged by a shadowy third partner, of fierce family pride and of how sometimes the pain of grief can re-ignite the vital spark of love.
`Sheridan`s writing is in a class of its own... this is a memoir to make you laugh and cry` - Sunday Express

Memoirs

Pan/Macmillan

Snow is falling all over Dublin. It is half an hour to the start of the New Year. On the rooftop of 44 Seville Place, a 10-year-old boy clings to a television aerial. His father urges him to turn the aerial towards England. The boy reaches up and in that moment, pictures from a foreign place beam into their home and change their lives forever.
Thus begins this astonishing portrait of a Dublin family as they chart their way through the turbulent waters of the l960s. We exult in their triumphs and cry at their disasters, but at no time is laughter far from the surface. As Peter Sheridan follows his journey from boy to man, he reveals the confused adolescent in us all and shows us an individual and a society on the cusp of profound change.
`A brilliantly realised, almost novelistic, portrait of an urban working-class Irish childhood... remarkably honest, involving, compassionate` Scotsman
`A beautiful, touching, bittersweet account of inner-family life...A lively, turbulent and huge tale painted in vivid colour on a very simple canvas. I`m glad to have read it and so will you be.` Malachy McCourt, Observer

Forty Four : A Dublin Memoir

Snow is falling all over Dublin. It is half an hour to the start of the New Year. On the rooftop of 44 Seville Place, a ten year-old boy clings to the steel pole of a television aerial. His father urges him to turn the aerial towards England. The boy reaches up and, in that moment, pictures from a foreign place beam into their home and change their lives forever. Thus begins an astonishing portrait of a Dublin family as they chart their way through the turbulent waters of the 1960s. From the first page we are drawn into their lives and their relationships. We exult in their triumphs and we cry at their disasters, but at no time is laughter far from the surface. By the book's close, we are part of this extended family.
