Danny Boyle was hoping for a fresh start in Canada. With the help of his uncle Martin, he'd soon found a job and a regular gig with a bar band. And when his sweetheart, Deirdre, joined him, Danny seemed set for life. But Fate wasn’t done with Danny, and when his uncle was stricken with AIDS, Deirdre did the only thing she could think of to save him from the darkness – she got pregnant. Rising to the occasion, Danny became a father with enthusiasm. With the arrival of their second child, though, mortgages, day-care, and the press of the day took their toll on the young couple. Battling the voice in his head that told him he wasn't suited for this role, Danny found an ally in the bottle. Soon, drinking became the only thing that made sense to him. Deirdre, however, refused to give up without a fight. If she could only get Danny to join her, they might even win. The sequel to BORN & BRED, WANDERING IN EXILE is the second novel in the Life & Times Trilogy, a cycle of novels that charts the course of one star-crossed life. Filled with poetic prose and brimming with poignant observation, it is a work of uncommon depth and resonance.

Wandering in Exile By Kathleen Kelly Wandering in Exile is the second in the trilogy titled The Life and Times, following Born & Bred which started the story of Danny Boyle. In this installment, Danny moves to Canada to start anew and with the help of his uncle, Martin, a former priest who came out of the closet in Born & Bred, gets a job working gigs out of local bars. Not to create a stereotype but Danny likes his drink and his girlfriend Deirdre gets pregnant hoping that having a child will help Danny deal with the demons that torment him. His beloved uncle is diagnosed with AIDS and Danny takes this very hard and gets deeper into the bottle. There are a lot of characters in this book, among them his parents that still live in Ireland. I first read Peter Murphy's work in Lagan Love which I loved. Mr.Murphy writes in such a lyrical and poetic way that shows that the Irish are great storytellers. I loved how Danny grew from a young man into a husband and father. Even though Danny is a flawed individual, as we all are, and doesn't often make the best decisions, I loved his character. Deirdre is the rock he needs to lean on and she is the person that I think will finally help Danny get rid of the voice's in his head. As with any type of substance abuse, you have to get down to the bottom and work your way up and I have every faith that Danny will do just that. This is an emotional read for sure as we find out more of what torments Danny and how he works through his feelings. I look forward to reading more from Peter, as he is one of my favorite Irish authors. If you enjoy a great story, then this one is definitely for you. I received a copy of this book from the author and was not monetarily compensated for my thoughts.

By Jerry Guild This is the sequel to "Born and Bred" with a third probable to come in the trilogy .Here we see Danny Boyle leave Dublin for Canada.He is to be met by his uncle Martin and stay with him as he gets settled in,in Toronto .Martin also has someone living with him,David,who makes for a different situation. This is a very interesting,different,and emotional story .As time progresses,Danny finds a new love Diedre but doesn't completely forget his other love Billie back in Dublin.The whole novel involves a lot of people and all have issues to deal with in Dublin or in Toronto.As in "Born and Bred",as well as "Lagan Love" Peter Murphy gives a great amount of detail about Dublin as well as Toronto.I happen to to be familiar with both cities and found when he mentioned these details,they brought back many memories.I have no idea about how these details would affect a reader's enjoyment ,were they unfamiliar with Dublin and Toronto. There are a lot of characters in the novel and they are all connected,related or otherwise involved with the main character in the story.Even though all the characters are intimately connected,be they parents, siblings spouses,close friends, children,or whatever,or wherever they happen to be living.I usually keep notes as I read and with so many characters coming and going over the many years of the time period of this novel;I often had to refer to them.Some novels include at the beginning, a list of the characters and a line or two about them that is very helpful to the reader.I really believe that would have been helpful here. While reading this novel;I was always very interested at what was taking place with the characters at the time;while wondering ,at the same time,where it was all heading.This helped keep my interest and thus I had a hard time putting it down,no matter where I was in the story. In this novel,the author has a date on each chapter,starting with the beginning of Chapter I-1977,ending with Chapter 20-1996.This was a period of 19 years from the time Danny left Dublin until the end of the novel.Murphy is an excellent writer and storyteller and the reader's interest is held throughout. I have lived all my life in Canada,except for a few years in the US;some of it in Nova Scotia,some in Montreal and a lot in Ontario; and wherever I was,there were always Irish around.However;there are two words that the Irish use that have particularly always intrigued me;whether in writings or conversation.The first is "brilliant" .This word conveys a much greater meaning for the Itish than it does for others.Then there is the word "bollocks" The Irish have more implications is the use of this word than imaginable. Murphy sprinkles these words throughout the book,but the way he applies different meanings to "bollocks" leaves me wondering how many ways can it be used.I really enjoyed this book,and if you like anything that Brendan O'Carroll ("Agnes Brown"),Roddy Doyle ("A Star Called Henry"),or Frank McCourt (Angele's Ashes","Teacher Man");I'm sure you'll like reading Peter Murphy as much as I have. Since Danny Boyle is still in his 40's as this novel ends,I can't wait to see what the third novel in this trilogy brings...one thing for sure;it'll be interesting.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Emotions Were Stirred By Beth Cutwright Wandering in Exile is the second book in the Life and Times trilogy. The three novels cover the life of the main character and history making events that affected his life and growth. When I finished Wandering in Exile, I had many confused thoughts and questions. I believe I should have read the first novel, Born & Bred and I certainly intend to.Wandering in Exile was aptly titled. The main character, Danny Boyle, was certainly in exile,even if it could have resulted from his own creation. All of us wander in exile from time to time or feel like it and for some it is a matter of permanence. The book addresses the subjects of alcoholism and substance abuse, trying to do better and having to crash rock bottom and climb your way back up again.There were many characters throughout the book going through their own exiles and telling their stories, which was somewhat confusing as well as the chapters where Antho and Martin conversed about their "overseeing" positions from the other side.The book was certainly thought provoking. My best suggestion to future readers though is to start with book one and read the entire trilogy in order to have the best understanding of who the different characters are and their purposes. I believe I wouldn't have been as confused, had I read book one initially.That being said, I did enjoy the storytelling and I found that the author stirred a multitude of emotions with his tale.
