The most important lessons in life can be the hardest to learn...From the award-winning presenter on Ireland's RTE Radio 1
'A wonderful portrait of modern families from a true storyteller who keeps you turning the pages' Cathy Kelly
Gus and Joan worked hard to give their children everything - a comfortable home in a leafy Dublin neighbourhood, gap years that never seem to end and an open chequebook for life's little emergencies. Unfortunately, although the children have grown up, they are a little too comfortable with the well-feathered nest: now it's time to learn a few home truths.
When a twist of fate means the bank of Mum and Dad can no longer bail them out, suddenly the whole family must find out who they really are. Uncovering the secrets they all hide shows them a different side to the city they call home as they find allies in the most unlikely places.

You will fall into this book as you would a soft settee. Read it and sigh for the enduring beauty of first love - IRISH TIMES on Going Back
