Roddy Doyle, author of The Woman Who Walked Into Doors\n \nBridget O'Connor was one of the great short story writers of her generation. She had a voice that was viscerally funny and an eye for both the glaring reality and the absurdity of the everyday.\n \nIn After A Dance, we meet a selection of O'Connor's most memorable characters often living on the margin of their own lives: from the anonymous thief set on an unusual prize to the hungover best man clinging to what he's lost to the unrepentant gold-digger who always comes out on top. From unravelling narcissists to melancholy romantics all human life is here - at its best and at its delightful worst.","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48240564273388,"sku":"9781035024865","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781035024865-after-a-dance-1.jpg?v=1787919456","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/after-a-dance-by-bridget-oconnor-9781035024865","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
