Book description
Christian is blond haired, blue eyed, and not just your average good
looking boy - he's an angel. And when he's sent down from the heavenly
offices above to sort out the love lives of the citizens of Gorb, a
small town in the West of Ireland, he thinks he's got an easy billet -
okay, he's not sure how he's going to drink all the cups of tea when he
can't ingest, and maybe it's not as glamorous as Paris, but his job
should still be a doddle. The complex lives of the people of Gorb are
many fold: there's Mary, still a virgin, not bitter, but depserate to
taste the real thing; Sandra, a Northern lap dancer, ready to give up
all the grinding and bumping for life back in her roots; Moses, all
flicked-back mullet and continually unloved, and Rose, once a true Irish
beauty, and now a long suffering wife. And there are plenty more . . .
.It is up to Christian - with a little help from his friends - to gild
his arrow and point them at the hearts of those who need him most, but
just how true is his aim? Highly original and very funny, this is an
endearing novel of love, life and all that it carries from the
best-selling author of Disco Daddy.
