Praised as "a work of wild, vaulting ambition and achievement" by Entertainment Weekly, Jamie O'Neill's first novel invites comparison to such literary greats as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Charles Dickens. Set during the year preceding the Easter Uprising of 1916--Ireland's brave but fractured revolt against British rule--At Swim, Two Boys is a tender, tragic love story and a brilliant depiction of people caught in the tide of history. Powerful and artful, and ten years in the writing, it is a masterwork from Jamie O'Neill. Jim Mack is a na ve young scholar and the son of a foolish, aspiring shopkeeper. Doyler Doyle is the rough-diamond son--revolutionary and blasphemous--of Mr. Mack's old army pal. Out at the Forty Foot, that great jut of rock where gentlemen bathe in the nude, the two boys make a pact: Doyler will teach Jim to swim, and in a year, on Easter of 1916, they will swim to the distant beacon of Muglins Rock and claim that island for themselves. All the while Mr. Mack, who has grand plans for a corner shop empire, remains unaware of the depth of the boys' burgeoning friendship and of the changing landscape of a nation.Binding Type: Paperback

Not great but not terrible
Special Size: 7" Inseam without Pockets, Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy
It fits fine, it’s pretty loose on the torso portion though so it doesn’t stay up well. I will not be purchasing again but I didn’t return it.

Best tote bag ever!!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
It's big and sturdy enough for my laptop and other stuff. The best part is that it's pretty and looks great. It's not heavy and it's comfy. You can carry it by hand or on your shoulder. Everyone always asks me where I got it. It's totally worth it. I love Amazon, and thanks for the awesome product.

Affordable but still feels solid
Size: One Size, Color: Taupe
This is a great everyday tote bag. I use this as my weekday commuter purse. It has plenty of room to throw the random things that accumulate throughout the day. The material is soft but with just enough structure so it doesn’t flop over when you set it down. It’s thick but not heavy. The handles are large enough to sling over the shoulder, depending on your size. Overall, I’m so happy with this purchase. Great value for the money and it looks good too!
