About this listen
Christine Dwyer Hickey's Tatty is a devastating yet hilarious depiction of a troubled Dublin family told in the vibrant, charismatic voice of the little girl lost within it.
With brutal honesty, Tatty tells the story of her beloved but feckless dad, her tormented mam and her five siblings, including her sister with special needs. As she grows up, Tatty becomes ever more aware of the strange reality of her home life and the damage wrought by alcohol on her family.
First published in 2004, Tatty became a bestseller and is a modern Irish masterpiece that is tragic, funny and utterly unsentimental.

The worst audiobook ever heard
This story was lazily written and hard to follow unless you actually can get into the story which might have been easier if the narrators didn't sound like sock puppets. I wonder if I read this book myself if I'd like it. I recently listened to a different coming of age story told by a growing child that I liked. But the narrators did a fine job of making it come to life. The narrators in this book had the skills of a preschool teacher. At points it felt like nails against the chalkboard. I can't believe they even released this. I wasn't transported into the story I was transported to a children's classroom watching sock bunnies ears flopping around behind a cardboard set. No human speaks in those voices. I am debating on emailing audible for an exchange. I have to do that now because apparently I have exchanged too many books... well.. they are expensive and they have a satisfaction guarantee. But I have been trying to cut audible some slack and only exchange the books that are so bad I can't finish. I did finish this one.... even though I slept through a few parts and didn't care to go back.... worst book I have read all year.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
