Against the backdrop of the apocalyptic mood of economic crisis and the decline of the family business, Dickie and Imelda struggle amid a web of external challenges, secret temptations, family traumas, and inner demons; their vulnerable daughter Cass, who is passionate about literature and dreams of studying at Trinity College, becomes trapped in alcohol addiction, while teenager PJ retreats into the world of gaming and virtual reality. This novel is for readers ready to unravel the workings of the characters’ minds, follow the swarm of their thoughts, feelings, instincts, and secrets, and who enjoy challenging, ironic, polyphonic, and multilayered literary texts.
