Anthony, the son of a Sonaghan father and a Gillaroo mother, is descended from two families whose enmity is legend. Though he belongs to a storytelling tradition, Anthony has grown up away from his people, and is only dimly aware of their disputes. That is until the blood feud touches him, and he comes to Dublin to lie low. Only once hidden within the city does he come to appreciate the strength of his heritage but also its otherness. Funny, fresh and unforgettable, Gavin Corbett creates a world and a narrator the likes of which you will have never encountered before.
