Product Description
Review
'The best novel of the Celtic Tiger yet published' Joseph O'Connor 'Finely paced, expertly plotted and astutely observed' - Dermot Bolger, Sunday Independent 'A tremendously well-written book ! wide-ranging, complex, profound and very satisfying' Irish Independent 'A rattling tale of culture clash and frenzied capitalism. Binchy nails modern Dublin as a night-town of violence, sex and criminality, where the streets are paved with broken dreams and teeth.' RTE Guide 'Brilliantly illuminating ! about identity, about home, about morality. Most of all, though, Open-handed is a good read.' Irish Times

Format:Paperback
The book mostly potters about, not really going very far, until the very end. You'll read page after page, waiting for something to happen.
You'll get a growing feeling that the author is holding out on you, and not telling you what's really going on.
And you'll sense that none of it is going to end well.
And sure enough, things get blacker.
