Opis: The Glorious Heresies - Lisa McInerney

WINNER OF THE BAILEYS' WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 WINNER OF THE DESMOND ELLIOT PRIZE 2016 'A rich, touching, hilarious novel' Financial Times Maureen didn't mean to kill a man, but what can a poor dear do when she's surprised by an intruder and only has a holy stone to hand? Lucky that she's just reconnected with her estranged son Jimmy, because as the most feared gangster in Cork he certainly has the tools to sort out the mess. So Jimmy enlists his boyhood buddy Tony, who with six kids and a love of the bottle could certainly do with the money, even if his teenage son, Ryan, is far too keen to grow up so he can become a gangster himself. And all is going to plan until Georgie, the girlfriend of the hapless intruder, starts to wonder where he went ... A rich, touching, hilarious novel Financial Times A spectacular debut ... a head-spinning, stomach-churning state-of-the-nation novel about a nation falling apart Telegraph A big, brassy, sexy beast of a book Irish Times A superb debut from a confident and comic writer Mail on Sunday Fiendishly hilarious The Times All the trappings of a possible future classic ... a fascinating and accomplished commentary on modern Irish life Big Issue A daring, exuberant and generous novel Observer There is the humour and the sheer, seething, broiling energy of the prose, which is peppered with the kind of language your mother would call unforgivable. As in Roddy Doyle and Irvine Welsh at their best, it doesn't feel gratuitous. It just feels true Sunday Times A rambunctious portrayal of a swaggering off-kilter underclasss -- Patricia Nicol Sunday Times This year's Baileys prize winner, the interlinked stories of chancers, gangsters and no-hopers in Cork city, is crime caper, teen romance and blisteringly dark social satire all rolled into one. Angry, funny and full of heart Guardian summer reads
