Exciting Times

One sentence synopsis... Ava, an Irish transplant teaching English in Hong Kong, starts sleeping with a wealthy English banker, but while he's away on business she falls in love with Edith, an equally wealthy lawyer.

Read it if you like... Sally Rooney - but queer. They both handle themes like class, capitalism, power, social mores, self-awareness - but Dolan writes with sharper edges and tighter pacing.

Dream casting... Jamie Demetriou as non-committal banker, Julian and Ellen Wong as Edith.
