Did you hear mammy died?

I heard an interview with the author over the summer and found him so charming and interesting that I wanted to listen to the audiobook version (he is the narrator). Unfortunately, the audiobook isn't available through library platforms. Anyway, the author's great personality didn't translate into the audiobook; he reads the book quite quickly and without much differentiation in tone.

Some of the story is quite hilarious and heart wrenching at the same time. At some point, I probably ought to revisit the book and print and see if I enjoy it more.
