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 breakthrough novel is a beautifully observed portrait of a time and place, and a thrillingly paced story of characters brought together by circumstance, ambition and need.

Review:
Praise for Chris Binchy:'A razor-sharp portrait ... It's not just Rory's antics or his ambivalent take on the city in all its grubby splendour that make The Very Man such an enjoyable read – it's Binchy's writing' Irish Times'There is a wonderful authenticity in his dialogue ... brims with the true atmosphere of Celtic Tiger Dublin' Demot Bolger, Evening Herald'One of our best emerging writers' Books Ireland
Review:
'A rattling tale of culture clash and frenzied capitalism. Binchy nails modern Dublin as a night-town of violence, sex and criminality'
