'Do you know what céad mile fáilte means?''A hundred thousand welcomes.''Not a hundred thousand homes. Not a hundred thousand "stay here's".' Charlie Regan's life isn't going forward, so she's decided to go back. After floundering around the British film industry, experimenting with amateur pornography and watching her father slowly die of cancer, she journeys to her ancestral home of Clipim off the west coast of Ireland. But as she begins to question her father's childhood stories, Charlie becomes embroiled in a devastating conspiracy that's been sixty years in the making . . . and it's up to her to reveal the truth of it.With a sharp eye and sour tongue, Caroline O'Donoghue delivers a delicious contemporary fable of prodigal return. Blisteringly honest, funny and moving, it grapples with love, friendship and the nature of belonging.Praise for PROMISING YOUNG WOMEN'Whipsmart and so witty' Marian Keyes 'One of the brightest stars in the galaxy of young Irish writers' Jane Casey 'Sharp, pithy and vibrant' Irish Times9780349009957Virago fiction[author photo] credit[twitter logo]@Czaroline[Instagram logo] czaronlineczaroline.com
