Riassunto

''You couldn't write it,' people say of Irish public life over the past fifty years, but here is Gerard Stembridge to prove them wrong. In The Effect of Her, with flair and great daring, he has written a fictional chronicle of the 1970s that is extraordinarily vivid, knowing, and satisfyingly irreverent. The portrait of 'CJ' alone is worth the purchase price.'
John Banville
Mags Perry, a journalist, flees her marriage in England to create a new life in what she hopes is a different Ireland.
Francis Strong, a teenager obsessed with literature, leaves his family for the dizzying freedoms of the capital.
CJ, a disgraced politician in search of a way back to power, meets a woman who may change the direction of his life.
In his breathtaking new novel, Gerard Stembridge weaves together a cast of unforgettable voices to tell the story of a whole society in flux. As his characters struggle towards happiness and freedom, he asks where true change comes from: the individual or her political masters.
