Montpelier Parade is merely across town, but to Sonny it could as well be considered a different world. Working with his dad in the garden of one of its attractive homes one Sunday, he views a back again door easing wide open and a beautiful woman coming down the path toward him. That is Vera, the type of one who seems destined to remain forever out of his reach. Expecting to cast off his loneliness and a restless sense of not belonging - at senior high school, in his part-time job at the butcher shop, and in the ever more suffocating company of his own family - Sonny drifts into dreams of a new kind of life. Some intoxicating encounters with Vera lead him to feel he has dropped in love for the very first time, but why does her past seem to be as unknowable as her future? Unfolding on the dazzling, rain-soaked Dublin spring and coil, Montpelier Parade is a wealthy, devastating debut book about desire, grief, ambition, fine art, and the options we must make alone.
