    About this ebook

    Set in modern Dublin, the novel follows the lives of four couples as they deal with the stresses of life in Celtic Tiger Ireland.
    An insight into the private lives of intimate relationships leaves the reader with a sense of voyeuristic guilt.
    Passion and eroticism are not enough. Life throws up other more threats and disappointments. The Celtic Tiger is on its last roar.
    A gripping novel!

    Des Greene

    In my novels I try to merge the worlds of modern science (quantum theory/relativity/cosmology) with the metaphysical world of philosophy (in particular philosophy of science and theory of knowledge).The characters inhabit this world and struggle with the events of a sometimes brutal reality and the more ethereal reality of the mind.Reading the novels should lead the reader on a journey that is both physically and intellectually challenging and perhaps enlightening.
