Synopsis
Following on from John Boyle's humorous yet moving account of his childhood in a poor Irish immigrant family in Paisley, Galloway Street, this is the story of his close friendship, in his teens, with James Lafferty, a boy from his own slum neighbourhood who joined his class at the local grammar school. This friendship allowed John and Laff to escape from the harshness of their lives in Ferguslie Park possibly the worst housing scheme in the West of Scotland as well as from the pariah status this conferred on them at school. We bonded because we were outsiders outsiders at school because of where we lived; outsiders in our own neighbourhood because of where we went to school our uniforms marked us as snobs from the Academy.
