Lisa McInerney Libros

Como todo el mundo a los veinte años, Ryan Cusack está intentando averiguar quién es. No es un buen momento para que su jefe aproveche su doble nacionalidad para abrir una nueva ruta de narcotráfico entre Italia e Irlanda. Ni tampoco es la mejor ocasión para que su adorada novia decida que es un corrupto sin remedio. Y, definitivamente, desearía no haber llamado la atención de una huraña abuela que se cree su salvadora. Quizás haya una escapatoria del caos en las propuestas empresariales del promotor musical Colm y en las atenciones de la encantadora e impulsiva Natalie. Pero ahora que las ambiciones de su jefe han sacudido la ciudad, Ryan está a punto de averiguar de qué pasta está hecho, y de si lleva o no el caos en la sangre.

WINNER OF THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 WINNER OF THE DESMOND ELLIOT PRIZE 2016 We all do stupid things when we're kids. Ryan Cusack's grown up faster than most - being the oldest of six with a dead mum and an alcoholic dad will do that for you. And nobody says Ryan's stupid. Not even behind his back. It's the people around him who are the problem. The gangland boss using his dad as a 'cleaner'. The neighbour who says she's trying to help but maybe wants something more than that. The prostitute searching for the man she never knew she'd miss until he disappeared without trace one night . . . The only one on Ryan's side is his girlfriend Karine. If he blows that, he's all alone. But the truth is, you don't know your own strength till you need it.

The third novel from the author of the Baileys Prize-winning The Glorious Heresies
