Uncle Ronald

by Brian Doyle and Brian Doyle

Book Overview

Old Mickey is one hundred and twelve years old. He can't remember what he ate for lunch today, but he can remember every detail of what happened one hundred years ago, when he and his mother ran away from his violent father to take refuge in the hills north of Ottawa.

Brilliantly combining humor and tragedy, Uncle Ronald is one of Brian Doyle's most emotionally powerful novels.

Customer Reviews

Extremely enjoyable! Would recommend.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. I picked it up for my son to read, but I wanted to read it first before I let him have it, and what a pleasant surprise it was. I don't generally expect too much from books geared for 10 year olds. This book is too good for a ten year old: only an adult will fully appreciate the humor. You'll read it in 2 hours, and it will be two hours well spent.
