| Synopsis: |
Patti remembers life in the tenement in Wolfe Tone Street where rats scratched under the floorboards and the hoolies went on all night. Her family is re-housed by Dublin Corporation and they move up town to a damp two bedroom flat. "The Girl in the Wardrobe" tells the story of a young girl growing up in the heart of the city. Attending a strict convent school, she hates gymslips and margarine sandwiches, the smell of cabbage and cauliflower. She loves reading Pippi Longstocking and Huckleberry Finn. She likes going up Nelson Pillar with her friends for a sneaky smoke. The story moves north and south of the Liffey between three households. There's her Ma and Da, her grannies and grandas, one of them an ex British soldier who died before she was born, and a bunch of uncles and aunts who all go to different chapels. She goes to the pawnbrokers and the Dairy where they have their own page in the accounts ledger. She lives in fear of being sent to an industrial school. She prays for their dead babies in the holy angels plot in Glasnevin Cemetery and for the holy souls in Purgatory. |
