Róisín Ingle

So despite everything I've said, which sounds a bit dour, it's actually a really funny book as well.

And I just think she just, she writes, I'm, you know, fond of writing from Northern Ireland.

You know, I'm married to a Northern Ireland Protestant guy and

uh i i find it interesting to read stuff from there and this i just think she encapsulates such a lot of the humor and the wit of northern ireland but also the kind of the real issues there as well but marion the character in this is just great there's a scene where she goes to buy buy a bra on the mainland and it's very very funny and she's just she's just um a great character so yeah few and far between by john carson has anyone else read it no no

It's the magic realism, Roisin.

No, I chose it because of that.

Because I think if someone can get me where I'm actually reading about these clearly... There's an island as well, sorry, that swallows everything.

So you go there, if you want to get rid of things... Oh, come on, Roisin.

You've lost me now.

I'm saying... What do you mean it swallows everything?

It just swallows everything.

That would be the magic realism.

That would be the magic realism.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Go and read it and then come and tell me you don't get it.

I can't believe you're laughing at me.

That's really bad.

That's why I chose it, though, because I thought, oh, here we go.

I don't want to read this book.

And I just loved it.
