Yeah, see, this isn't working for me, because our vicar has us reading Irish writer Niall Williams' 'Boy in the World' for bookgroup.
The boy in the title has run away to Dublin and his grandad is trying to find him. He comes to ...'a small pub built in the side room of a family house. 'Healy's' was the name on a wooden sign.....It was a few moments before he could make out the burly figure of Healy behind the counter.....He had a puffy face with L-shaped sideburns that came to the edge of his mouth, a nose so flat it added almost no depth to his profile. His eyes were small and made smaller still by the fullness of his cheeks and his habit and frowning and everyone and everything.'
You get my drift Heelers dontcha? I mean, how could there be two Healys (Healies?) and yet, the picture doesn't fit...well, the picture.
