Publisher's Synopsis
One summer's evening, two men meet up in a Dublin restaurant. Old friends, now married and with grown-up children, their lives have taken seemingly similar paths. But Joe has a secret he has to tell Davy, and Davy has a grief he wants to keep from Joe. As two pints turns to three, then five, and they set out to revisit the haunts of their youth, the ghosts of Dublin entwine around them - their first buoyant forays into adulthood, the pubs, the parties, broken hearts and bungled affairs, as well as the memories of what eventually drove them apart. As the two friends try to reconcile their versions of the past over the course of one night, a comic yet moving portrait emerges of the many forms love can take throughout our lives.
