In A Star Called Henry we were introduced to this charismatic lad, prince of the streets and rebel. Now he is a handsome young man fleeing Ireland and losing none of his charm and quick wits in prohibition America. Speak-easies, gangsters, double dealing, racism, booze, women and Louis Armstrong, Henry is in the thick of history. It’s seriously good.
