Cockles and Mussels,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cockles and Mussels (Paperback)
Cockles and Mussels is a story of life in Dublin in the 50s.It depicts a week in the life of a medical student just prior to graduating as a doctor. It is a rollicking tale of Bob Shannon's difficulties with the authorities and with the Catholic Church. Told in the idiom of the time, it is at times uproariously funny and at others serious and even sad. The heroine is who else but Molly Malone whose statue now stands at the bottom of Grafton Street. There is no statue YET to Bob Shannon!
