'Can I Have Your Charm Bracelet When You Die?' A Dublin Childhood
Pulitzer Prize, Academy Award, Tony Award winner, JP Shanley, ('Moonstruck', Cher, 'Doubt' Meryl Streep);'Every page of Sheila Hamilton's "Can I Have Your Charm Bracelet When You Die" crackles with electric joy. Her senses careen through the Irish days and nights with greedy wonder. Even when she detours into New York, it's her mythology of love that shapes the town. I can't recommend it enough. It's a genuine dose of something strong, a mighty remedy for an ailing world. Give it a taste. you'll be the better for it. John Patrick Shanley''Esther is my aunt, my minder, defender, slave, and best friend. I am barely six years old; she is twenty-something'Love is the foundation of this powerful Irish story, set amidst the background of the author's hilarious childhood in the heart of 1970s and 80s working-class Dublin. Spent between two households, her 'Nanny's, ' where she is cared for by her adorable aunt Esther, and her mother's home, a delightful, vibrant, centre of mayhem. Sheila takes us on a madcap adventure from Dublin's Pearse Square to the streets of New York, and wherever she goes, she is surrounded by a cast of exquisite, eccentric, and comical characters. But there is a twist to this story, a realisation, a revelation this child never knew, or noticed.
Through life's triumphs, sorrows and magic, the elevating power of unconditional and enduring love is the source of her strength.
