A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR • A brilliantly funny novel about friends, lovers, Ireland in chaos, & a young woman desperately trying to manage all three

"If you’ve ever been unsure what to do with your degree in English; if you’ve ever wondered when the rug-buying part of your life will start...if you’ve ever loved the wrong person, or the right person at the wrong time…In short, if you’ve ever been young, you will love The Rachel Incident like I did.” — Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times best-selling author of Tomorrow, & Tomorrow, & Tomorrow

Rachel is a student working at a bookstore when she meets James, & it’s love at first sight. Effervescent & insistently heterosexual, James soon invites Rachel to be his roommate & the two begin a friendship that changes the course of both their lives forever. Together, they run riot through the streets of Cork city, trying to maintain a bohemian existence while the threat of the financial crash looms before them.

When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr. Fred Byrne, James helps her devise a reading at their local bookstore, with the goal that she might seduce him afterwards. But Fred has other desires. So begins a series of secrets & compromises that intertwine the fates of James, Rachel, Fred, & Fred’s glamorous, well-connected, bourgeois wife. Aching with unrequited love, shot through with delicious, sparkling humor, The Rachel Incident is a triumph.
