Viac o knihe

Breakfast on Pluto became a #1 bestseller in Ireland, remaining on the list for months and earning a nomination for the prestigious Man Booker Prize. With delicate insight, McCabe introduces Mr. Patrick "Pussy" Braden, a hopeful hero(ine) whose quest for love and survival drives the narrative, set against the backdrop of the troubles in Ireland. Twenty years prior, she escaped her hometown of Tyreelin, leaving behind her chaotic foster mother Whiskers to start anew in London. There, clad in blousey tops and satin miniskirts, she navigates a perilous life among the bars of Piccadilly Circus. However, the threats she faces extend beyond the usual dangers, as the 1970s bring a haunting atmosphere of fear in both London and Belfast. As history's critical mass builds, Pussy finds herself caught in a whirlwind of violence and tragedy that threatens to shatter her fragile spirit. Brilliant and profound, Breakfast on Pluto masterfully intertwines light and dark, laughter and pain, creating a dramatic impact that lingers in our minds and hearts long after the story concludes.
