No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. simpatico, brillante e originale ( ) This book follows the life of Danny Williams over a very hectic 5 day period set in London and the fictional town of Ballyglass in Northern Ireland. It all starts when old school friend Geordie turns up on his doorstep unexpectedly. He had to get away from some trouble back home in Northern Ireland so Danny agrees to let him stay for a while until he can sort something out. When he was young, Danny was known for wanting to do things the right way but he now works for a big city law firm where conscience is a four letter word (I wish it was then it would be easier to spell). He gets a reminder of it from beautiful young trainee Ellen, whom he's roped in to help on a due diligence he's been lumbered with, and starts to re-assess his priorities in life. Written along the lines of a Nick Hornby story, though not as accomplished (but to be fair this is his first novel). It contains some fun characters and plenty of humour, often of the dark variety. I will certainly read another offering of Nick Laird's if and when it becomes available as I think this is a promising debut. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
A very funny, energetic, wonderfully engaging novel about where we're from and where we'd like to get to...Danny Williams is talented, upwardly mobile and has left his Northern Irish small town roots well behind him. In his mid-twenties he lives in a stylish London flat and has a job in a top London law firm. However, one innocuous Wednesday night his old mucker from home, Geordie Wilson, arrives at the door. On the run from a loyalist militia, whose operational funds he has taken, he manages to bring everything that Danny has been fleeing from right to his smart London doorstep. Taking place over an intense and gripping five-day period -- set in both London and the fictional Irish town of Ballyglass -- Nick Laird has written an hilarious, touching and ultimately redemptive novel about friendship which has at its centre a romantic and sexy love story.
