Meet Dubliner Lena O'Neill, a witty, irrepressible woman. As she plans to start a new phase in her life she is besieged by scheming neighbours and her politically ambitious brother who all have designs on her house. They, in turn, are bewitched by an upstart investment guru. Meanwhile, Lena gradually pieces together the truth of a harrowing event that has dogged her life until now and may yet determine her future. Set in an Ireland euphoric with new found wealth, this novel is intelligent, moving and very funny.
