Item description from seller

Paperback. Mags Perry has fled a loveless marriage and returned from England to 1970s Ireland, where she picks up what work she can find as a freelance journalist. Beautiful, intelligent and idealistic, her divorce has made her a pariah in traditional Irish society, but the burgeoning Women's Movement offers her an opportunity to join in the fight for a better, fairer republic -- and if possible, find a different kind of love along the way. Francis Strong leaves his provincial, working-class home for university, bringing with him an almost mythical notion of Dublin. It's the 70s, he's a literature student, he has his own bedsit. Freedom beckons -- but does he know what kind of freedom he is looking for? And is it to be found in the capital? Seemingly remote from such trivial human affairs is CJ, the one-time cabinet minister who is now in the political wilderness after getting mixed up in an arms scandal. Yet as he ruthlessly seeks a return to power, his decisions could affect -- for better or for worse -- the lives of everyone in Ireland. AUTHOR: Gerard Stembridge is the author of three novels, Unspoken, Counting Down and According To Luke. He has also written and directed film and television. Credits include About Adam with Kate Hudson, the screenplay for Ordinary Decent Criminal (starring Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Linda Fiorentino), and he co-wrote Nora (a film about James Joyce and Nora Barnacle, starring Ewan McGregor and Susan Lynch). He was the co-creator, with Dermot Morgan, of Scrap Saturday. REVIEWS: 'A masterpiece of storytelling' - Daily Mail 'Authentic, honest and utterly absorbing' - Diarmaid Ferriter 'A great modern novel' - Douglas Kennedy 'Stembridge is reminding us that the larger moods of history begin in the small moods of individual moments. And he has done an excellent job of capturing both.' - Irish Times Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
