A prominent plastic surgeon, and Irishman, he had honed his skills on the bomb victims of the Troubles. But the family grew up used to him being absent: he only came to London for two weekends a month to work at the Harley Street Clinic, where he met their mother years before, and they only once went on a family holiday together, to Spain, where their mother cried and their father lost his temper and left early.</p><p></p><p>Because home, for their father, wasn't Earls Court: it was Belfast, where he led his other life...</p><p></p><p>Narrated by Lara, nearing forty and nursing her dying mother, <i>All the Beggars Riding</i> is the heartbreaking portrait of a woman confronting her past just as she realises that time is running out</p></div>
