Synopsis
'Brilliant . . . I couldn't stop reading' Jo Spain
'Exceptional . . . Deeply chilling' Jane Casey
______________
Des is a good husband, a good father - a good man.
He encourages his wife's artistic endeavours, reads bedtime stories to his children every night, and holds down a well-paid, if unfulfilling, job.
But appearances can be deceptive. Lately, his wife seems to be forgetting that her art is for his eyes only. And rumours at work are threatening his reputation as a devoted family man. And he can't help but feel that his kids don't seem to need him as much as they once did.
Des is afraid.
Afraid of the world encroaching on his home.
Afraid of past mistakes catching up on him.
So afraid of losing control over his family that he is contemplating the unthinkable.
A Good Father is a dark and gripping psychological suspense novel that will take you into the twisted mind of a man on the edge.
'This intricately made novel marks the debut of a writer from whom, and of whom, we shall be hearing much in coming times' John Banville
'Captivating . . . Readers will come for the premise and stay for its clever unpacking' Irish Times
'A devastating new voice in Irish fiction . . . Magnificent' Joe Duffy
'A great read, it's gripping, at times disturbing' Miriam O'Callaghan, RTÉ Radio 1

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'When I hit her, which isn't often, I am careful not to go too deep around her cheekbones because her cheekbones are a great feature of hers.' Des is a good husband, a good father - a good man. He encourages his wife's artistic endeavours. He holds down a well-paid, if unfulfilling, job. He is manager of his sons' Under-11s football team. He reads bedtime stories to his children every night. But appearances can be deceptive, and behind closed doors secrets threaten to ruin everything. Des is afraid . . . He is afraid of the world encroaching on his family. Afraid of past mistakes catching up on him. Afraid of losing control. Des is master of his home, and he must maintain his authority over it - and everyone in it - at all costs.
