'A tragicomic triumph. You won't read a sadder, truer, funnier novel this year' Guardian
'Generous, immersive, sharp-witted and devastating; the sort of novel that becomes a friend for life' Financial Times
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 . . .
'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

Sweden's friendliest and environmental friendliest bookshop with the lowest priced textbooks.
This is our ambition, and we do what it takes to get there. We are here to help students to save and earn money on their textbooks while we at the same time save the environment. We were started in 2005 by two students and have since strived to constantly make it easier to buy and sell used textbooks for as many as possible.
