{"product_id":"holding","title":"Holding","description":"The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama, and yet its inhabitants are troubled: Sergeant P.J. Collins hasn’t always been this overweight; Brid Riordan, a mother of two, hasn’t always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn’t always felt that her life was a total waste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo when human remains - suspected to be those of Tommy Burke, a former lover of both Brid and Evelyn - are discovered on an old farm, the village’s dark past begins to unravel. As a frustrated P.J. struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his professional life, he unearths a community’s worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regrets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDarkly comic, at times profoundly sad, and “especially inviting because of its tongue-in-cheek wit” (Kirkus Reviews), Holding is a masterful debut. Graham Norton employs his acerbic humor to breathe life into a host of lovable characters, and explore - with searing honesty - the complexities and contradictions that make us human.","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":43001701826640,"sku":"9781501173271B","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/holding","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
