Produktbeschreibung

'Excellent... this is a worthy page-turner' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Breeda Looney tells herself she's happy with her simple life in a remote Irish fishing village.

Sure, there are days she talks to no one but the cat, her panic attacks have become public spectacles, and crabby Aunt Nora considers her a total waste of skin.

But Breeda is about to stumble upon an old family secret never meant to see the light of day. Her beloved father, said to have died when Breeda was a child, might actually still be alive.

A lifetime of lies will force Breeda to revisit the darkest corners of her past if she's to ever bring home her long-lost daddy.

But secrets rarely exist alone. And as Breeda digs deeper into the family dirt she realizes she's barely scratched the surface…

Breeda Looney steps forth. But what on earth is she about to discover?

Heartfelt, compelling and often darkly funny, this debut fiction from Ireland follows one woman's quest to find her truth and, ultimately, her place in the world. With a cast of colorful characters, and brimming with surprisingly tender moments, Breeda Looney will stay in your heart long after the final pages...

Autorenporträt

Oliver Sands was born in Northern Ireland (during interesting times) and managed to maintain his sanity by escaping into the works of fiction his parents kept in their modest bookcase. It was there he first discovered his love of character and story. Several years after graduating he decided to ignore his aversion to heat and Vegemite and made the move to Sydney. He returns to Ireland when he can and would like to grow old in Donegal. Breeda Looney Steps Forth is his debut novel.
