The Living - Softcover
Recently graduated and nursing a wounded heart, Cate Houlihan is quickly learning about the realities of adult life - shaky career paths, broken relationships and overbearing parents. Determined not to repeat past mistakes, she throws herself into choir practice and her new job as an editorial assistant in a small and eccentric Dublin publishing house. When romance blossoms with the choir's newest member, Matthew Taylor, it seems as if things might be starting to go her way. So when her work brings her into contact with the recent Republican past, she dismisses as paranoia her sense that she is being followed - until she comes home one evening to find someone has been in her flat and they haven't stolen a thing.

About the Author:
Lean Cullinan grew up in a distinguished literary family and has been writing since childhood. She is a graduate of the MPhil in Creative Writing at Trinity College Dublin and sings in one of Ireland's finest choirs. She lives in Dublin with one husband and two sons.
Review:
Confident and likeable debut novel - its likeability manifest in its lively narrator... I look forward to whatever Cullinan will write next. * Irish Independent * Lean Cullinan's elegantly written debut novel is both a coming of age story and a compelling thriller. * Irish Times *
