"London Irish Dublin English" by Daniel M Doyle is the story of a Londoner named Donal, who moves to Ireland in the 1980's and tries to fit in friends and work colleagues. The characters come alive on the pages and you feel like you are a fly on the wall watching everything unfold. The story makes you laugh and cry and laugh again. For a short story it did drag at times but well worth the read. The joys and sorrows of an emigrant trying to fit in are amply and honestly covered. Even those who are not of Irish descent can identify with the people in the stories and will enjoy the book.
