      After Rory has returned to Dublin to bury his mother, he decides that New York, with the flash job, fast money and high tech apartment is just not for him anymore, and it's time to be home again. But where is home and who is Rory now? His friends try to persuade him he's the same as he ever was but Rory knows different. Out to screw everyone and everything around him, Rory's life spirals out of control and he loses his job, his flat and his girlfriend. But having hit the bottom, he is lucky to meet the sweet forgiving and totally guileless Risn, a woman who believes in absolutes and believes in him. The Very Man is the carefully nuanced story of a man who feels he has nothing to lose but discovers that his life is unravelling before him. It is, too, a brilliant portrait of contemporary Dublin.

      The place is Dublin. The time is the present. Five characters – two Irish, three from eastern Europe, all seeking success from wildly different starting points – become entangled with one another in a web of politics, property, sex and violence. Chris Binchy’s breakthrough novel is a beautifully observed portrait of a time and place, and a thrillingly paced story of characters brought together by circumstance, ambition and need.
