Book description
Every year, a close-knit group of friends spend two sun-filled weeks in
a Spanish villa. For Derek and Sharonne, Conor and Maeve, Rory and
Trish, and Liam, it's the perfect way to end the summer and escape their
high-pressured lives in Dublin. No children, no responsibilities, and no
distractions. This year, however, the group befriends Agneta and Anna
Maria, two women holidaying in a neighbouring villa, and a series of
events is set in motion that will shake the group to its very core.
Muriel Bolger is a well-known freelance journalist and editor. Award
winning travel writer and Irish Travel Writer of the Year, she has
written three guidebooks on her native city. Darting About, Statues and
Stories and Dublin's Magical Museums. (Ashfield Press). Her latest work
is a light-hearted look at Dublin writers from Swift to present day,
which she wrote to tie in with UNESCO awarding Dublin a City of
Literature status. Dublin - City of Literature (O'Brien Press) is due
for publication in 2011. Consequences is her first novel. It was written
at airports, in the sky and on faraway beaches and mountaintops. Its
inspiration was a white cat with patches of ginger who tried to steal
her lounger in Cyprus and who only features once in the story. She loves
jacaranda trees, marshmallows and Brazil nuts, but hates oysters, snakes
and chocolate cake!
