A Hard God by Peter Kenna
'We just have to stumble on blindly', says Martin, head of the embattled Cassidy family, 'with his mercy raining down on us like thunderbolts'.
Memories of his own Irish Catholic childhood people the stage in Peter Kenna's famous study of youth and age in a working class family as it suffers the pangs of love, death, adolescence and survival in the Sydney of the 1940s.
