First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket complete in a clear protective sleeve, unclipped price on flap. Original cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 202 pages clean and tight. Hugh Leonard's Home Before Night tells the story of his growing up, in the thirties, on the outskirts of Dublin as the adopted son of the gentle `Da' and his sharp-tongued wife. Both are determined that `Jack' shall better himself, though where the bettering will take him they cannot envisage. At first very much the parents' story, its triumph is to show how a kind, weak, foolish labouring man and his sour, ambitious wife can hold together in spite of their frailties, and make a sheltering family for their exasperated, guilty, but still loving, son. It is not until he is a good deal older that Jack comes to realize that `Love upside down is love for all that', but it is this realization which gives the memoir its marvellous warmth. The impoverished and benighted background thick with drunken uncles and mad aunts, the family rows, the quirks of priests and Brothers who enter the life of the scholarship boy, and those sad eccentrics in the offices of the Land Commission (which is where his bettering takes him) are all remembered with affection. And the account of adolescence must be one of the most comic and touching ever written. Home Before Night is a richly humorous work by the playwright author of Da, which cannot fail to please. Size: 8vo.
