Description
Colin Broderick grew up in Northern Ireland during the period of heightened tension and violence known as the Troubles. Broderick's Catholic family lived in County Tyrone - the heart of rebel country. In That's That, he brings us into this world and delivers a deeply personal account of what it was like to come of age in the midst of a war that dragged on for more than two decades. We watch as he and his brothers play ball with the neighbor children over a fence for years but are never allowed to play together because it is forbidden. We see him struggle to understand why young men from his community often just disappear. And we feel his frustration when he is held at gunpoint at various military checkpoints in the North. At the center of his world - and this story - is Colin's mother. Desperate to protect her children from harm, she has little patience for Colin's growing need to experience and understand all that is happening around them. Spoken with stern finality, "That's that" became the refrain of Colin's childhood. The first book to paint a detailed depiction of Northern Ireland's Troubles, That's That is told in the wry, memorable voice of a man who's finally come to terms with his past.
