Book summaryThis debut novel, set in 1983, is about a young Irishman named Patrick Scully, his roommate and best friend Xavier O'Reilly, and his girlfriend Francesca--who is in love with Xavier. The narrative alternates between Patrick's perceptions and Francesca's diary, which often contradicts them. Media reviews"A likably rowdy first novel...by a fine young Irish writer....A vivid debut, distinguished by hilarious dialogue, a sure sense of place and character, and a knowledge of their fateful interrelatedness. O'Hanlon is the real thing." |
