Now, when did this book form in your imagination, the latest book, Everything She Didn't Say?
voice-verified
And the question of writing a book about your native Ireland, I mean, did that put extra pressure on you?
voice-verified
What I found interesting about the book is that you don't kind of make concessions in outlining to people, you know, this is Mayo, this is the Garda Síochána.
voice-verified
Well, that is the Irish police force.
voice-verified
You call them the guards or the Gardaí and you don't make an apology or an explanation for that.
voice-verified
You use words like Egypt, colloquial words, skull for school, for example.
voice-verified
And, you know, you expect your reader to be intelligent enough to cop on quickly.
voice-verified
Now, how much do you want to tell us about the plot?
voice-verified
Because there are a number of female characters and there are obviously the Gardaí, both male and female, featured principally two males.
voice-verified
Not the full story.
voice-verified
I don't know whether you ever saw the movie, the Kurosawa movie Rashomon in your college days in Oxford or whatever, where you have a murder plot, I think it is.
voice-verified
And the different characters give their narrative of what happened in the murder.
voice-verified
But each one is utterly different from the other.
voice-verified
Now, your two detectives, one of them is different.
voice-verified
He's not what you typically expect from a guard and the other very much is.
voice-verified
So the formation of those two individuals.
voice-verified
Now, the question of the two of them, Ben Butler being the posh one, if you like, and Liam being the other one from inner city Dublin, where did he grow up, Fatima Mansions or whatever?
voice-verified
I think that's where it was because I've read the book over the last week or so and I've really, really enjoyed it.
voice-verified
But I'm even thinking of that, you know, someone, a British reader, for example, looking at Fatima Mansions and you're thinking of those blocks in Kensington, which are called mansions, you know, so-and-so mansions.
voice-verified
Yeah.
