Cad a dhéanfá dá bhfaighfeá amach nach ‘beagáinín difriúil ó mháithreacha eile’ atá do mháthair féin, ach ‘an difriúil ar fad’? Tugtar léiriú tuisceanach dúinn in Úbalonga ar an ngaol idir buachaill óg agus a mháthair agus iad ag dul i ngleic le dúshláin an tsaoil. Cuirfidh an duaisleabhar seo ó Áine Ní Ghlinn ag gáire tú ach cuirfidh sé tocht ort freisin. Bronnadh duais Oireachtais ar Áine Ní Ghlinn sa bhliain 2009.

A chance discovery of a mysterious book under his mother’s pillow leads a young boy to reveal the truth of his mother’s past, a past which explains quite a few things about her ‘not quite normal’ behaviour. A quirky story which will make you both laugh and cry. Winner of Oireachtas Literary Award in 2009.
