Inhaltsangabe

''You couldn't write it,' people say of Irish public life over the past fifty years, but here is Gerard Stembridge to prove them wrong. In The Effect of Her , with flair and great daring, he has written a fictional chronicle of the 1970s that is extraordinarily vivid, knowing, and satisfyingly irreverent. The portrait of 'CJ' alone is worth the purchase price.'

John Banville

Mags Perry, a journalist, flees her marriage in England to create a new life in what she hopes is a different Ireland.

Francis Strong, a teenager obsessed with literature, leaves his family for the dizzying freedoms of the capital.

CJ, a disgraced politician in search of a way back to power, meets a woman who may change the direction of his life.

In his breathtaking new novel, Gerard Stembridge weaves together a cast of unforgettable voices to tell the story of a whole society in flux. As his characters struggle towards happiness and freedom, he asks where true change comes from: the individual or her political masters.
