This is Now

Description

An ordinary day. An ordinary bank. An ordinary street in an ordinary town. Nothing ever happens, until, one day, a shocking robbery turns life upside down for five people: Cillian, a police detective, Martha, the woman he thought was the life of his life, Tobias, who came to Ireland after WWII and now lies in a coma, shot in the bank robbery, Roman, the young Polish teenager who is suspected of pulling the trigger and his mother Rosa, the cleaner, who dreamed of a better life for herself and her son . . . . . . and things will never be ordinary again. Ciara Geraghty's writing has that rare ability to make you laugh out loud as well as cry. She combines tangled human relationships with humour, romance and warmth to create something truly special.

Ciara Geraghty is the author of five previous novels, SAVING GRACE, BECOMING SCARLETT, FINDING MR FLOOD, LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS and NOW THAT I'VE FOUND YOU, which was shortlisted for the RNA Contemporary Romantic Novel Award in 2015.

A smart, realistic and gritty love story . . .

Treat yourself to a brilliant book! - Patricia Scanlan on NOW THAT I'VE FOUND YOU Heart-breaking and funny, poignant and life affirming. - Novelicious.com on LIFESAVING FOR BEGINNERS A beautifully written, somewhat whimsical and very encouraging tale about grabbing hold of life's reins, breaking away from the monotony of a dull routine and following your dreams . . . emotional, joyous . . . I adored it. - Daily Mail on FINDING MR FLOOD Move over Marian, it's Ciara . . . impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time . . . lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs. - Irish Independent Review on SAVING GRACE
