I was on planes, trains, and automobiles yesterday.

This is Andrew Mears.

Not out till May 2026.

It's a proof copy.

Reminds me a bit of Claire Keegan meets Roddy Doyle.

Can you believe that?

But I really enjoyed it.

And it's a tale of, like they say, of modern male friendship.

And it's a bit kooky.

Like it's a little offbeat, but I enjoyed it.

This is Lionel Shriver who wrote We Need to Talk About Kevin, you might remember, some years ago.

currently writing for the Spectator magazine, which will tell you that's to the right of center and a bit more politically.

So that's where she is in the world.

She would have loved Trump's speech last night, put it that way.

And this is... This is... She's smart, by the way.

And this book, I...

I actually quite enjoyed and it's about migration and immigration and New York and it's a woman in her early 60s who takes in a woman from Honduras who's in her late 20s, early 30s and her son who's 27 is not into it and is really upset at his mother and

it on it goes it gets a bit chaotic and a bit goofy but all told it it'll start a conversation put it that way it'll start a conversation for sure ramona hello ryan great to see you thank you ramona love to see you i love your name i'm at home today too i'm in wexford excellent doing an assignment again anyone who's going to text in or write in saying i'm doing an assignment that's not good enough

I say that respectfully, which most people don't mean, but I do.

I want to hear what the assignment is in, about, or revolving around.
