Ženy chcú mužov, čo zarábajú, ženy chcú mužov so zázemím. Koľko žien na úrovni žije s flákačmi v chudobnej štvrti? Nie že by som chcel ženu, respektíve nie na to, aby so mnou žila. Ako spolu vôbec ženy a muži vydržia? Aký to má zmysel? Jediné, čo som naozaj chcel, bola opustená jaskyňa niekde v Colorade, v ktorej by som mal zásoby jedla a pitia na tri roky. Riť by som si umýval pieskom. Bral by som hocičo, naozaj hocičo, čo by ma vytrhlo z tejto nudnej, triviálnej a zbabelej existencie.

From the author of the adult novels "The Commitments" and "The Snapper" comes a beautifully written coming-of-age tale about four generations of women in one family who set out on an unforgettable journey.
