"The best comic novel I've ever read" - Tommy Tiernan
"Could be the finest comic novel since Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman" - The Sunday Tribune
My first novel, of which I am very fond. The adventures of teenage twin sisters Juno & Juliet, in their first year away from home. Life, love and literature, in Galway and Tipperary.
"Like Roddy Doyle in an extremely good mood" - The Washington Post
"A modern, at times brilliantly ironic reworking of the classical fairytale, with nods to Shakespeare, Austen and Beckett." - Literary Review
"Hugely entertaining" - Vogue
