This is the book that officially put me off Irish authors. To spend nearly 300 pages whining about having a family, nice house and two kids just because of something that may or may not have happened thirty years ago to someone else is the worst premise for a book I've seen.

You just want to shake her and say "THIS is why you're being such a self-indulgent asshole?! Get over it already."
