REUNIONS. RECRIMINATIONS. RECKONINGS. Ireland. Great nationalists, bad mothers and a whole lot of secrets. Ryan Cusack is ready to deliver its soundtrack. Former sex-worker Georgie wants the truth about Ryan' s past out there but the journalist has her own agenda. Mel returns from Brexit Britain, ill-equipped to deal with the resurgence of a family scandal. Karine has always been sure of herself, till a terrible secret tugs the rug from under her. Maureen has got wind that things are changing, and if anyone' s telling the story she wants to make sure it' s her. A riotous blast of sex, scandal, obsession, love, feminism, gender, music, class and transgression from an author who is ' totally and unmistakably the real deal' (Kevin Barry).
It' s got all the crackle and verve and mad vivid life we' ve come to expect but it' s so open-hearted and warm, too, and utterly engrossing - it' s her best work to date, which is really saying something -- KEVIN BARRY No other writer captures the pained, complex lives of damaged young men and women in contemporary Ireland like McInerney does. With her savage wit and caustic eye there' s no shirking of the ugly truths of Irish society and the havoc wreaked on innocent lives. This is a raw, intense novel, full of tenderness, humour and above all humanity. -- MARY COSTELLO Unsparing, unsentimental, but deeply affectionate. . . THE RULES OF REVELATION is stylish and relentlessly original -- NICOLE FLATTERY THE RULES OF REVELATION is a perfect end to one of the best trilogies in modern Irish literature. McInerney' s writing moves from the tragic to the hilarious with a dazzling deftness, examining a post-Crash Ireland - and its hypocrisy in how it shapes class, art, and feminism - with a gimlet eye. A triumph -- LOUISE O' NEILL An enthralling and expansive novel. There is no mistaking the brilliantly inventive, savage, technicolour bounce of McInerney' s prose -- COLIN BARRETT The characters, the dialogue, the wit and humanity - everything about this book glows -- RODDY DOYLE
