Description

Absorbing, tense, and often very funny, The Anatomy School recreates the high anxieties and deep joys of a boys quest for his place in the world. This is the story of Martin Brennan and his growing up a troubled boy in troubled times, a boy who knows all the questions but none of the answers. Before he can become an adult, Martin must unravel the sacred and contradictory mysteries of religion, science and sex; he must learn the value of friendship; but most of all he must pass his exams whatever the cost.

A book that celebrates the desire to speak and the need to say nothing, The Anatomy School moves from the enforced silence of Martins Catholic school retreat, through the hilarious tea-and-biscuits repartee of his eccentric elders, to the awkward wit and loose profanity of his two friends the charismatic Kavanagh and the subversive Blaise Foley as we follow Martin from the initiations of youth to the devoutly wished consummation of the flesh.
