Our Little Cruelties

Three brothers are at the funeral. One lies in the coffin.

And so begins Our Little Cruelties, a story of the Drumm brothers, Will, Brian and Luke. The story moves through many years and touches on many milestones of Irish history, both big and small, including the visit of Pope John Paul, and the marriage equality referendum. As the brothers betray each other constantly and struggle with their demons - addiction, infidelity, and greed - Liz Nugent keeps up a wonderful pace and brings the story to a very satisfying conclusion.
