Ireland. Great nationalists, bad mothers and a whole lot of secrets. Ryan Cusack is ready to deliver its soundtrack.
Former sex-worker Georgie wants the truth about Ryan’s past out there but the journalist has her own agenda.
Mel returns from Brexit Britain, ill-equipped to deal with the resurgence of a family scandal.
Karine has always been sure of herself, till a terrible secret tugs the rug from under her.
Maureen has got wind that things are changing, and if anyone’s telling the story she wants to make sure it’s her.
A riotous blast of sex, scandal, obsession, love, feminism, gender, music, class and transgression from an author with tremendous, singular talent.
“Not only a glorious, bold, funny state-of-the-nation novel, but a beautiful and painful love story too.”

- Mary Costello“Stylish and relentlessly original”
- Nicole Flatterly“It's her best work to date, which is really something”
- Kevin Barry“The Rules of Revelation: Lisa McInerney closes ‘unholy trilogy’ with a rebel yell.”
- The Irish Independent“One of the great achievements of modern Irish fiction”
- Sunday Times“Sharp and satisfying . . . McInerney's world is a compelling sleazy demi-monde of drug dealers, sex workers and property developers, and she has a pleasing disdain for minimalism: here you'll find big characters and lots of them”
