Everyone Erin knows feels like an acquaintance. Back in Belfast
after abruptly leaving graduate school, she numbly teeters through
the aftermath of losing her best friend to an accident she
doesn’t want to talk about. But it’s easy to get into a rhythm
in the Lazy City; a simple housekeeping job provides refuge, as do
evenings at a cocktail lounge where her friend tends bar and she
drinks for free. In quick succession, she meets an American man who
is looking to get lost, and falls back in with the local man who
both comforts and confounds her. Suddenly, she finds herself
wandering into churches, where, musing on these relationships—and
her equally complicated relationship to faith—she gingerly
confronts her grief. Written with mordant wit and surprising
sympathy, Lazy City announces Rachel Connolly as an uncannily
perceptive new voice for a city that “shows all its history, all
its personality, all the time.”
