Friend of Ireland P J Mckeown is a second-generation Irish Mancunian – that means he was born and raised in Manchester England to parents from Galway and Laois His Mum was from near Mount Bellew in County Galway and Dad was from Abbeyleix in County Laois. He spent many a happy holiday in Galway and Laois . The first volume of his autobiography was recently published. "I feel that the “ home grown” people in Ireland and Irish Americans tend to be ignorant and somewhat curious about/dismissive of second-generation Irish people and that now is the time to for them to get informed and entertained". The hilarious story revolves around a second-generation Irish child who is reflecting and recollecting on his bittersweet experiences that he has endured during his upbringing, from the complications of poor health to the incredible fortitude and desire to face the pain and kill it like a painkiller, to rise after every fall, and to learn and laugh after every cry. He bravely rode the rollercoaster of life. Let's get to know about him and, through him, the customs and traditions of Irish people living in Britain. The boy is a sociological human jukebox. My Generation: The Memoirs of a Second-Generation Irish Wimpy Kid Paperback – 30 Jan. 2025 by PJ McKeown (Author) £10.99 Available on Amazon UK website and Waterstones UK website
