'A profound examination of friendship romantic confusion and mortality' John Boyne One
summer's evening two men meet up in a Dublin restaurant. Old friends now married and with
grown-up children their lives have taken seemingly similar paths. But Joe has a secret he has
to tell Davy and Davy a grief he wants to keep from Joe. Both are not the men they used to be.
As two pints turns to three then five Davy and Joe set out to revisit the haunts of their
youth. With the ghosts of Dublin entwining around them - the pubs the parties the broken
hearts and bungled affairs - the men find themselves face-to-face with the realities of
friendship.
