The House of Murph, by Anthony C Murphy
Set in the North of England during the 1980s and 1990s, this collection of prose and poetry invites readers into the author’s world through snapshots of his life. With stories that traverse childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, the author reflects on themes of family, identity and the passage of time.
Recurring motifs such as music, drinking culture, and religious experiences add texture to the narrative, while the author’s dry wit and poetic observations shine through. These stories offer a raw, authentic look at life’s contradictions—capturing both the beauty of mundane moments and the weight of personal loss.
