Synopsis
From the bars of New York's East Village to the neon forest of Tokyo's underworld, from the hidden waterfalls of Hawaii to the slums of Mexico City, this is a journey that spans continents and mental states. Driven ever onwards by a savage love, Keelin is searching for her sister, Aisling, who disappeared from her home in Ireland one summer without warning. Her family is devastated, haunted by the loss, with only exotic postcards as hints to her whereabouts. But the postcards have long since dried up and Keelin is determined to track her sister down. And as she visits the places where Aisling has been and encounters the trail of friends and lovers that her sister has left behind, she finds herself being sucked into the dark, erotic world that Aisling inhabits...

Review
Emer Martin's second novel is an emotional roller coaster with tracks laid across the entire planet, from Ireland to Japan to the United States to Central America. Keelin, the youngest of five children, is dispatched by her mother to find the eldest daughter, Aisling, who's been missing for over 15 years. Her journey forces her to confront the obsessive-compulsive behavior of herself and her siblings, who tag along for parts of the trip or monitor her progress from afar. The colorful cast of characters (including a gay priest and a Japanese transvestite) is sure to strike a chord with anyone who's ever felt like an outcast and wished he or she could build a separate world someplace else.
From the Inside Flap
In a young, brash, hip new voice that combines irony and nervous tenderness with a bold and provocative appeal, Emer Martin introduces us to an Irish family unlike any other.
With her father institutionalized, and her brother's uncanny string of near-death misses, it's left to 28-year-old Keelin to find her oldest sister, Aisling, who has been missing from her family for fifteen years. Keelin travels to the bars of New York's East Village and the neon forest of Tokyo's underbelly, falling into and out of the lives of her colorful, troubled expatriate siblings. All the while, Aisling, out ahead, dares Keelin to find her and bring her back home.
Moving at high speed and wickedly funny, More Bread or I'll Appear takes us deep into a world where the boundaries between family members can be greater than the borders between countries.
