Amazingly Astonishing Story, The

Mae cyfrol o atgofion Lucy Gannon yn gofnod clasurol ao ddwy flynedd ar bymtheg gyntaf merch o ddosbarth gweithiol sy'n gorchfygu sawl rhwystr wrth ganfod ei hun - marwolaeth ei mam, magwraeth gaeth o fewn y ffydd Gatholig, teulu milwrol, camdriniaeth a llysfam greulon. Daw achubiaeth drwy addysg a blynyddoedd y 1960au, yn cynnwys cyfarfyddiad byr â'r Beatles.

Deeply funny and deeply sad, this memoir is a frank look into a childs tumultuous mind, a classic story of a working-class girl growing up in the sixties. Her Catholic upbringing, a father torn between daughter and new wife, her irreverent imagination and determination to enjoy life, mean this really is an amazing story (including meeting the Beatles).
