New York: Riverhead Books, 2001. SIGNED first edition - First novel by this Irish reporter (her first book, 'Are You Somebody' was a surprise bestseller.) Set in both the present and 150 years ago during the great famine in Ireland, this is the story of a woman who is writing the story of a scandalous affair in 1850. This advance issue is much less common than the first printing, which had a reported run of 125,000 copies.
