Summary

Fitzgerald's life changes forever when his father is killed by a lorry on his way home from the timber yard. As Fitzgerald tries to decide, with the help of his 'nearest and dearest', where to inter his father's ashes, he finds himself struggling to understand who his father was and the nature of the burden that he seemed to carry throughout his life. With the help of a toothless, boiled-sweet eating bag-lady (who may well be an angel); his ghost-hunting uncle; the spirit of his dead father and a chorus of out of the ordinary neighbours, teachers and relations, Fitzgerald sets off on a journey to take his father 'home'. What he finds is both a divine revelation and a resounding affirmation.
