Cissie Hamm, free-spirited & glamorous, once served early-morning coffee to Jackie Kennedy Onassis & believed that housework consisted of matching belts to the correct coats. A ray of light in the puddle-grey town of Waterford in the 1960s & 1970s, she was both abattoir-owner & guest-house landlady. She was exactly what every self-proclaimed nancy boy needs in his life. Aeibhear's personal voyage takes us through the buildings of his childhood city, his grandmother's abattoir, the mental hospital where his father works, & the Folly Church where he serves as an altar boy. It is the story of a city & the story of his journey from fear to pride. But the most important character throughout is the entertaining, fashion-conscious, poker-playing Cissie, his lively & witty little grandmother.

I could imagine sex between men quite easily; I just couldn't imagine ever being involved in it. In this disturbing world of unfulfillable desire, I was scared. Cissie's abattoir saved me.' ...
