Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A love affair born in rural Ireland! Two mismatched lovers, locked in a relationship that will change both of them...forever!

From the day I was born, I was brought up to believe that Gaelic games were invented for people too stupid to understand the laws of rugby. Little did I know that one day I would become a legend of Kerry football.

But then my life has taken a lot of unexpected twists and turns.

My old man is like the Taoiseach of the country. My wife is an actual minister in his government. And my suddenly teenage daughter is heading for the Jailtacht - and her very first rugby boyfriend.

And then there's Marianne....

Of course, I was too busy becoming a Gaelic football star to realise that my family - like the entire country - was being pushed towards a cliff edge. And I was the only man capable of saving Ireland's democracy.

Which is just like, 'F---------k!'

Critic reviews

"Ross is a national institution." (Irish Times)

"When the literary history of the 21st century is written, it will record that a cartoon rugger bugger stole the hearts of the Irish people." (Sunday Times)

hilarious storyline, best narrator

I adore these books. As always, amazing. So funny and self deprecating. Can't wait to get stuck into the next one.

In-focking-credible

How do these books manage to keep getting better and better over the years? Blends seamlessly from Comedy of Errors to Heartfelt Sports Story, and now into Political Thriller.

Rory Nolan really deserves huge credit for his performance, he's a one man army who voices each character so perfectly that I forget I'm listening to a single person instead of a full cast. I will never, ever stop rolling on the floor laughing when his RTE announcer voice says "Fine Ghwaaeeeeeeelll".

Great observation of recent times, in a very Irish and familiar context.

Real depth of culture insight and political comment achieved through ‘shallow’ but very lovable characters.
