Now entering his sixty-seventh year, Chris Mc Cool can confidently call himself a member of the Happy Club: he has an attractive & exceedingly accommodating Croatian girlfriend & has been told he bears more than a passing resemblance to Roger Moore. As he looks back on the glory days of his youth, he recalls the swinging sixties of rural Ireland: a decade in which the cool cats sang along to Lulu & drove around in Ford Cortinas, when swinging meant wearing velvet trousers & shirts with frills, & where Dolores Mc Causland
- Dolly Mixtures to those who knew her best
- danced on the tops of tables & set the pulses of every man in small-town Cullymore racing. Chris Mc Cool had it all back then. He had the moves, he had the car, & he had Dolly, a woman who purred suggestive songs & tugged gently at her skin-tight dresses, a Protestant femme fatale who was glamorous, transgressive & who called him her very own ' Mr Wonderful'. She was, in short, the answer to this bastard son of a Catholic farmer's prayers. Except that there was another Mr Wonderful in town, a certain Marcus Otoyo
- a young Nigerian with glossy curls & a dazzling devoutness that was all but irresistible. Although Chris, of course, was interested in Marcus only because of their shared religious fervour & mutual appreciation of the finer things. That was all. Besides, Mr Mc Cool was always a hopeless romantic
- some even described him as excessively so
- but is there anything wrong with that? Spiked with macabre humour & disquieting revelations, The Holy City is a brilliant, disturbing & compelling novel from one of Ireland's most original contemporary writers.

The food that Monty & Sarah Don like to eat is honest & delicious. They believe in letting seasonal, local ingredients speak for themselves; in taking time to cook every day; & that the very best food of all is eaten at home, around the table with the family. As they themselves put it, ' Good food, prepared with love & eaten with those that we love in the warmth & privacy of our homes, is one of the greatest pleasures that life has to offer. It is the yardstick against which one measures all culinary experiences.' the two hundred recipes in The Home Cookbook are their family favourites, gathered over the years & passed down through the generations. This is simple, enjoyable food, which will set you up in the morning & restore you at the end of a long day; it will lift your spirits in summer & offer comfort in winter. Arranged chronologically by meal
- breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, dinner
- these are Monty & Sarah's tried & tested versions of classic dishes that belong in every home cook's repertoire.
