An untraditional Irish memoir is out from Evelyn Doyle. It is the story of a troubled Dad in 1950s Ireland whose children are taken away from him, once his wife leaves the family. If this sounds a bit familiar, that's because it is the story of Pierce Brosnan's recent movie "Evelyn." The film's name comes from Evelyn Doyle herself, who tells the story from her own perspective in "Tea and Green Ribbons." There are interesting gaps between the film and book (Evelyn does not dwell on the abuse she faced in Irish orphanages), but while Doyle's has been an extraordinary life, "Evelyn" the movie seems to tell the story with an economy that "Tea and Green Ribbons" lacks. Nevertheless, the entire Doyle family certainly deserves this moment in the sun for all their trials and tribulations. ($24 / 239 pages / Free Press)
