Product Description

Review

"The Ledge is a great novel. The writing is brilliant, the characters are terrific, and the plot comes staggering out of that corner where malice, hilarity and sentiment meet and have it out" - Roddy Doyle.


Product Description

At the time of his kidnapping, John was a successful film critic, with his own late night TV slot and something of a cult following. Crazed fans were an occupational hazard. One night, during a break in the show, John stepped outside to have a smoke. When he didn't come back, nobody worried too much. It was a week before he was found. Acclaimed Irish writer Blanaid McKinney's first novel covers the care and maintenance of bonsai trees, the sex life of pandas, Second World War fighter planes (and why test pilots were usually women), the singing career of Antony Perkins and much more. It's a blazing brilliant urban love story, with robbery and torture thrown in. Blanaid McKinney's first collection of stories, BIG MOUTH, revealed a new writer of persuasive imagination, revelling in characters who are mad or bad, or both. This novel confirms her as a major new talent.
