A stunning literary memoir from an exceptional Irish writer and
comedian Marise was nine when she first realized there was trouble,
14 when her Dad tried to end it all, and 23 when he finally
succeeded. In a turmoil of conflicting emotions Marise runs - from
Dublin to Amsterdam to Los Angeles, leaving a trail of sex and
self-destruction in her wake. Until finally, she finds herself
facing what she's become in a California psych ward, a girl
imploding through trying to make sense of her father's suicide. As
she retells her unravelling, from child to adult, Marise strips
back her identity and her relationship with her father, layer by
layer, until she starts to understand how to live with him, years
after he has gone. Written beautifully, with wit and unflinching
honesty, Marise has produced one of the most profound coming-of-age
memoirs of recent years, a stunning new voice in Irish writing.
