About this ebook
Anna Kelly Sweeney is a writer of popular fiction intent on worldly success. Leo is an idealist who lives in rural County Kerry and devotes himself to poetry, culture and innumerable worthy causes. When Anna falls in love with the handsome and enigmatic Vincy, and Leo with the troubled publicist Kate, the consequences of their glimpsed happiness reverberate beyond their own insulated world.
Inspired by Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, this panoramic and compulsively readable novel is a brilliant satire on the Dublin literary scene and on the Celtic Tiger and its impact on Irish society. If you enjoyed Fox, Swallow, Scarecrow, you might also enjoy Eílís Ní Dhuibhne’s novel The Dancers Dancing and her short story collection The Shelter of Neighbours.
