Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. **Inspiration for the 2012 award-winning filmWhat Richard Did from the author of White City, available for pre-order now** 'An excellent novel. It comes from the gut, it's raw, it's passionate'John Boyne, author ofThe Boy in Striped Pyjamas On a late August night a young man is kicked to death outside a Dublin nightclub and celebration turns to devastation. The reverberations of that event, its genesis and aftermath, are the subject of this extraordinary story, stripping away the veneer of a generation of Celtic cubs, whose social and sexual mores are chronicled and dissected in this tract for our times. The victim, Conor Harris, his killers - three of them are charged with manslaughter - and the trial judge share common childhoods and schooling in the privileged echelons of south Dublin suburbia. The intertwining of these lives leaves their afflicted families in moral free fall as public exposure merges with private anguish and imploded futures.

Also, a story brilliantly and movingly told. Couldnt stop reading it.
