Klappentext
THE MULTI AWARD-WINNING NOVEL FROM ONE OF OUR GREATEST LIVING COMEDIC WRITERS
'A tragicomic triumph. You won't read a sadder, truer, funnier novel this year' Guardian
The Barnes family are in trouble.
Until recently they ran the biggest business in town, now they're teetering on the brink of bankruptcy - and that's just the start of their problems. Dickie and Imelda's marriage is hanging by a thread; straight-A student Cass is careening off the rails; PJ is hopelessly in debt to the school bully.
Meanwhile the ghosts of old mistakes are rising out of the past to meet them, but everyone's too wrapped up in the present to see the danger looming . . .
'Generous, immersive, sharp-witted and devastating; the sort of novel that becomes a friend for life' Financial Times
'Paul Murray [is] the undisputed reigning champion of epic Irish tragicomedy' Spectator
'An instant classic' Washington Post
'[An] astute, remorselessly funny novel' Daily Mirror
'A wagyu steak of a novel . . . A classic in the mode of The Corrections' The Times
WINNER OF THE NERO BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2023 WINNER OF THE SKY ARTS AWARD FOR LITERATURE 2024 WINNER OF AN POST IRISH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2023
