Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The latest remarkable novel from this important and distinctive Irish writer is a family epic, a novel about love and disappointment, approached with characteristic wit, originality and intelligence. 'A spry surrealist who challenges the world with extraordinary, lancing sentences' James Wood

Publisher's description:

The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. It wasn't the drink that killed him - although that certainly helped - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's house, in the winter of 1968. This is a novel about how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars.
