The Shelbourne Ultimatum

Więcej o książce

After a near-fatal incident, Ross O'Carroll-Kelly, a schools rugby legend and award-winning author, awakens from a coma to a dramatically transformed country. Shrewsbury Road has turned into a ghost estate, Marks and Spencer now sells microwavable coddle, and a Euro discount store is set to open at Powerscourt Townhouse Centre—all after just ten days of unconsciousness. Despite the chaos around him, Ross is grateful that his vital organs were spared and resolves to seize every moment. With a world of women to pursue, he aims to focus on living life to the fullest. However, his plans are complicated by personal challenges: a daughter who despises him, a son maturing too quickly, and a soon-to-be-ex-wife resorting to desperate measures to save their home from repossession. To add to his troubles, the Gords suspect him of lying. Ross's misadventures and sharp observations deliver consistent humor, earning accolades for their parody. This twelfth installment in the series continues to captivate readers, with previous titles achieving critical acclaim and commercial success, including multiple nominations and awards at the Irish Book Awards.
