Synopsis:
“Is he from our side of the house?” Is he, in other words, a Catholic? It was a question Michael Kerr heard often when he was growing up in Northern Ireland during the worst years of the Troubles. But his was a house where both sides were welcome; a seaside boarding house that was home to a family of eleven and temporary residence for hundreds more. In this memoir, which is by turns funny and sad, he recalls an “occupied Ireland” with a difference. There were no soldiers on the streets, but there was an army of strangers in the beds.
