An obscure but highly recommended book, The Green Years got off to a slow start but by the middle, I was completely absorbed in it. Robie doesn‘t have an easy time of it, becoming an orphan and being sent to live with his grand—and great-grandparents. But he works hard and perseveres through his challenges. It felt to be a very authentic coming-of-age story for an Irish boy in Scotland.
