A remarkably accomplished and vivid debut novel'

Reapy has a dazzling ear for dialogue... This book does for young Irish expats in Australia what Alex Garland's The Beach did for backpackers in Thailand and Dermot Healy's Sudden Times did for a different generation of Irish labourers in London. It's a confident and distinctive debut, and one would have to be dead to the thrill of fiction not to be hugely excited about what its author will do next'

Astoundingly accomplished... thought-provoking and addictive'
