An entertaining memoir of a rollicking life in New York of another Irish immigrant. The title is derived from the young Malachy’s mishearing of the line in ‘amongst women’ in Hail Mary. The Exuberance of the Irish lifestyle in New York is matched with the scenes of rollercoaster emotional life, and a fair amount of alcohol.
