Five girls from Liverpool. The Mafia. A priest and the liveliest city in Ireland . . . Not a normal hen party . . .
Emma and Matthew's lavish wedding is only a week away and with preparations reaching fever pitch, Emma's hen party is going to be a welcome break. Her four closest friends agree on a quiet weekend in Dublin, but plans do have a habit of unravelling in the most unexpected way.
Tasting both their freedom and a little too much of the local brew, the friends each embark on a series of accidental adventures. Pauline finds herself face to face with the Mafia, Tracey makes a catastrophic stage debut, Donna alights upon a new family and Emma meets a rather attractive priest's son just days before her own wedding. And Rosemary? Well, no one has seen her for days . . .
Heartwarming and very funny, 'The Hen Party' confirms Kincaid as one of the wittiest writers around.
