Bøker av Joseph Connolly

Connolly conducts with masterful hand and compassionate grace the voices of a once-hopeful working class couple during WW2 - now blitzed, battered and breaking into a desperate new dawn.

The new novel from Bollinger-shortlisted Joseph Connolly.

Connolly's comedy of manners weaves together a domestic tableaux of characters - those with old-fashioned manners, tabloid manners, and no manners at all - in a satire on oedipal envy, neighbourly rivalry and the shameless stupidity of our fame-fuelled society.

Eric's double-decker life and triple-tangled lies drive him to a catastrophic collision in Joseph Connolly's wry and ingeniously plotted black comedy.

With vicious flair, Connolly hurtles a cast of thrillingly repulsive characters into a plot of adultery, sadism and revenge, speeding towards a violent climax.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE: AS IF THE ROYLE FAMILY WERE WRITTEN BY MARTIN AMIS

Susan wants another husband - which comes as a shock to the current one. A tale of a singular threesome.
