Thank You for the Days

Follow five sparky working-class siblings uprooted from their Dublin home to 1960s North Manchester. This is the story of how they navigate their ways through childhood, eavesdropping on adults and, through love, loyalty, loss and friendship, discovering their own cultural history and identity. Over ten years, they look out for one another as they try to make sense of their strange new world. Their stories are funny, poignant, sometimes tragic, and ultimately uplifting: a testament to the resilience of children. Patricia Morris was born in Dublin and raised in North Manchester. This is her story.
