Moving from troubled west Ireland to a Baltimore just recovering from WWI and from the apogee of the Spanish Flu epidemic, this story of Danny and Helen, on the run after a horrifying personal attack by a handful of British soldiers, manages to be both rollicking and tragic as the couple experiences the aftermaths of their trauma. Richly evocative of life in Baltimore as lived by recent immigrants to the city-- a city which is home to many Irish families but at the same time highly suspicious of new immigrants. Major and minor characters including Women's Suffragists, Hasidic Jews, a Black dock worker, a troubled priest, a troubled butcher, a troubled detective, and the entirely untroubled teenage hoodlum self-christened Emperor of Napoleon Street, join the young couple and their the twin boys to populate this fast-paced story. The novel's title, Tell me what I want to hear, takes on many different meanings as the novel progresses from adventure to adventure, from mayhem to death and back--and perhaps redemption.
