Downturn Abbey




The barbarians may be at the gate of Ross's mock something-or-other mansion, but does he care? Does he fock?

For everyone else things may be shrouded in gloom but amidst the splendour of our Killiney mansion, Honalee, life goes on.

I've decided that it's time to possibly do right by Sorcha and put our marriage back together. Meanwhile my son has hitched his future to a family of commoners, my old dear is involved in a dodgy love affair, and my daughter has turned into an insufferable little madam. Oh, yeah, and I'm about to become a grandfather at 31.

Suddenly I'm wresting with duty, loyalty ... and the thousands of women out there who still desire the pleasure of my company.

About the author

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is a man of the people-if the people are basically birds and drop-dead focking gorgeous. Because life is short, roysh, so you can't fock about with, like, rolling mauls, you've got to head straight for the line. Which is second nature to a try-scorer like me, given my ball-handling skills. How the hell did I get so lucky? Focked if I know.

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is the author of several bestselling books including; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-DressShould Have Got Off at Sydney Parade, and This Champagne Mojito is the Last Thing I Own.
