This moving and funny book is set in small town Ireland in the aftermath of the credit crunch. It reflects how this global issue affects a whole community. Its chapters are from the point of view of different characters. Ryan creates distinctive voices that are very human - in their thoughts, failings and redeeming qualities. It is also quite skilful the way he uses this technique of changing narrators to develop and change the narrative. A great book in my opinion, although some people who I know who have read it have really struggled with the dialect. It will be interesting to hear your opinions on it. I hope you like this book as much as I do. Even if you don't I hope you will be interested on its style and uniqueness.
