The city life of a country girl . . .
When Anne Marie arrives in Dublin, wide eyed and very, very green, she has a lot to take in . . .
For a start there are her three cousins; Gerald, laid back to the point of inertia; Darina, loudly domineering; and Cornelius, awkwardly introverted.
Then there's the New Age landlord (and his many incarnations), the psychopath (and his roving mind), the frustrated virgin, the touchy (and feely) boss, the stalwart friend, the grasping wife, the handsome waiter.
And that's taking for granted the web of coincidence and connection, the network of lives, loves and lies that revolve bewilderingly around her . . . For Anne Marie, life in the city is only just beginning . . .
