Description: "Alice is falling and all around her friends and lovers are tumbling towards disaster. Married to the rich and dangerous Paddy Lynch, she is no stranger to trouble. All through her life she has had to fight to survive. But she is not prepared to be a victim anymore.".

"In this hypnotic and unsettling tale of emotional damage and revenge, William Wall depicts the lives of a group of friends and the strategies they adopt to survive in a brash and brutal new Ireland. Wealth and power appear to bind them, but it is wealth gained at an intolerable price and power that is little more than the ability to inflict pain. The world of Alice Falling is full of glittering lies and sordid truths, dangerous loves and distant friendships."--BOOK JACKET.
