“Nicky was not a person who needed to imprint herself domestically, to season a space with expressions of personality.”

Quite late to this (came out nearly two years ago) - but my God, what a stunner. Not a loose sentence, smilies that snap like fresh elastic, dialogue that would please Elmore Leonard. The equal to Kevin Barry.
Funny, moving, characters I cared about. I could see a sequel.
