One of the most original, challenging and refreshing chroniclers of love writing today.
This is the story of Irish geek girl Murrey Pogue, alone in America in search of the real thing. Blindly hopeful she'll stumble upon love, she blunders through a Jerry Springer landscape of strippers, thieves, addicts, preachers and pimps, sometimes finding herself paid to be part of the show, until one day it happens . . . she sees him, across a street in Chicago and falls in deep. Only there's this noose around her neck which keeps tugging her back to the past, to a place, to that kid time when . . .
