Twenty-first-century Dublin is chic, seductive, affluent. At the glittering heart of the city is Anna Kelly Sweeney, a moderately successful writer who lives in exclusive south Dublin with her wealthy property developer husband Alex and son Rory. Removed from harsh and unpleasant realities, Anna's life is spent in the endless round of launches, lunches and opening nights that makes up the city's literary scene. But Anna is not happy and, having fallen for the handsome but irresponsible Vincy, prepares to abandon home, husband and son for the dream of an all-conquering love. Panoramic, strikingly original and compulsively readable, A Swallow, a Fox, a Scarecrow is a modern-day morality tale, an intelligent, funny, critical but always fiercely humane insight into contemporary Irish culture and society.
