Sinéad Hynes is a tough, driven, funny young property developer with a terrifying secret. No-one knows it: not her fellow patients in a failing hospital, & certainly not her family. She has confided only in Google & a shiny magpie. But she can't go on like this, tirelessly trying to outstrip her past & in mortal fear of her future. Across the ward, Margaret Rose is running her chaotic family from her rose-gold Nokia. In the neighbouring bed, Jane, rarely but piercingly lucid, is searching for a decent bra & for someone to listen. And Sinéad needs them both. As You Were is about intimate histories, institutional failures, the kindness of strangers, & the darkly present past of modern Ireland; about women's stories & women's struggles; about seizing the moment to be free. Wildly funny, desperately tragic, inventive & irrepressible, As You Were introduces a brilliant voice in Irish fiction with a book that is absolutely of our times.
