It is a true the story of an Irish family from Cork Ireland, who were born in a house that was originally an alleyway. It begins in the fifties at a time of great poverty, and carries you along on a roller coaster of emotions for the next sixty years. In her tiny little house an inspiring mother would encourage her children to believe in tomorrow and to laugh always, while she herself battled with a domineering old grandmother and an alcoholic husband.
In their early years two of those children, John and Kyrle would live out one crazy adventure after another, literally mimicking whatever they saw in their mad uncle's picture hall. In time, four more children would arrive, each adding a different way of looking at life, and turning their tiny little house, into a vortex of drama and dreams, while struggling to survive. Despite its small size, their house was a place of great safety, where adversity was laughed at, while they drank tea from their jam jars, read with a candle, and hoped for a better tomorrow.

Two Walls and a Roof edition by John Michael Cahill Literature Fiction eBooks
I have read many opinions where people compared ( in a good way ) Two Walls and a Roof to Angela's Ashes...I love both books and find laughter, tears, and yes hope in both..What I would like to convey, to people who may say, " I've read Angela's Ashes, why buy this one? " I say to you, that John Cahills journey was much different that Frank McCourts...In both books you will find despair, redemption, hope and most of all courage to find your way out of the darkness that life can sometimes bring.I would say, that if you made that decision, you would miss some of the most wonderful antics of a young John Cahill in his youth. The horrendous antics that he, his brothers and his friends survived by some miracle...
The love he had for family, perserverence to overcome the poverty that he grew up in.
The strength and sometime quirky resolve of the women in his youth.
I say to you who would pass this up because you read Angela's Ashes, STOP...This is a entirely different journey and one that you will be literally covering all emotions...Laughter, sadness and feel the despair that was John Cahills...Most of all you admire the man who lived this interesting life, and know that no matter to what situation we are born into, we can overcome and become outstanding adults...

Two Walls and a Roof edition by John Michael Cahill Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A sincere, heart felt book. I enjoyed reading it a lot.
I really enjoyed this book. John has had an interesting life and shares some great stories. It does put in perspective how much easier life has gotten for us. When one looks at the struggles to survive that took place in rural Ireland in the 50's and 60's, it does place our current economic downturn in context.
Whereas on one hand I felt the book could have been edited a bit more, maybe that would have the lost the rawness and honesty that shines through. What made this book special were the lessons we can all take from it. Love, understanding, forgiveness and honesty burn brightly in the author. He is not afraid to admit where he made mistakes, but likewise is not willing to blame others for any misfortunes that happened to him. I believe that one of the great gifts we have as humans is the ability to take responsibility for our actions and try and shape our destiny. Reading this book helped to reaffirm these beliefs and this alone makes the book a worthy read.
However it would be remiss of me not to mention that there are some great yarns and fabulous social commentary in it as well. Treat yourself and read this book. You will not regret it. Well you might. I couldn't put it down the first night and dealing with two very active young sons in the morning after little sleep is not to be recommended!
Well done Mr. Cahill - not many are brave enough to be so open about themself like you are in this book and we are all the richer for it.
An absolutely brilliant read! If you liked Angela's Ashes, you will LOVE Two Walls and a Roof. I found myself laughing out loud at times, and crying at others. I would like to see this made into a movie, it would become an instant classic. 2 very big thumbs up!!
A good read. Reminded me of Angela"s Ashes.
I am still reading this book, but I just couldn't help making a review half way through. I listen to Two Walls and a Roof as I work, I have been finding myself anxious to go to work just so I can listen to more of the life and times of John. One can't help laughing out loud at some of the prankster tricks John has pulled. Or wonder in amazement how he could possibly still be alive!! Admire his determination to accomplish all he has done. I know by the time I am finish listening to Two Walls and a Roof, I will walk away wishing for another story about the life and times of John. This is a wonderful story teller, who can wrap you up and pull you in, capturing your attention from beginning to end.
I wanted to come back and give my review again, since I finished this book. There is one negative point I have to make. It ended. I looked forward to this book every time I had the chance to either listen to it or read it. I was disappointed when I discovered I reached the last page. I do hope a second book comes out. This is truly a wonderful story teller.
Growing up in difficult circumstances in an era when people just got on with it. a readable memoir of those times.
I LOVED this book!! I couldn't put it down. Had to see what the next "adventure" was going to entail! I laughed, cried and snorted my way through this delightful book! The author brings his family to life with love, humor and just a touch of sarcasm and whimsy. He makes you feel that THIS is a family with which you'd love to sit and share a "cuppa" with.
Hoping that he will soon have another book available!Two Walls and a Roof Ireland Born America Bound
