Fergus HynesFergus Hynes grew up in Ireland and worked in England, Canada, and the United States before settling in Australia. His diverse career has spanned business, politics, and the pursuit of social justice through prison reform."Fergus Hynes has written anevocative memoir of growing up in Ireland in the 1940s and 50s in a small family pub in Dublin. You can almost smell the smoke and taste the Guinness in the bar. It was the beating heart of Irish life at the time, and his account is alive with the characters he saw across the counter. Fergus brings the keenness of observation that Dublin developed in him to England, Canada, the USA, Israel, PNG, and Australia."
