The place is Dublin. The time is the present. Five characters - two Irish, three from eastern Europe, all seeking success from wildly different starting points - become entangled with one another in a web of politics, property, sex and violence. Chris Binchy's novel is a beautifully observed portrait of a place and a time, and a thrillingly paced story of an unforgettable group of characters brought together by circumstance, ambition and need.
Chris Binchy was born in 1970. He studied English and Spanish at University College Dublin and later graduated from the Master's course in creative writing at Trinity College Dublin. He worked as an embassy researcher, painter and hotel manager and later trained as a sushi chef. His first novel, The Very Man, appeared in 2003 and was shortlisted for the Hughes & Hughes / Sunday Independent Irish Novel of the Year award. His second novel, People Like Us, was published in 2004. He lives in Dublin.
