If your idea of a good time is curling up with a gripping nineteenth-century domestic drama, give this novel a try. Irish author Amanda McKittrick Ros is known for her rich, lyrical, densely layered language – not to mention her knack for closely observed characters and juicy plots. Fans of Austen and the Bronte sisters will love this book.

This novel is written in a faint suggestion of the style of Jane Austen. It concerns a woman called Irene, her son John, Irene's adoptive parents Lord and Lady Dilworth, and a dour man bachelor of 40 named Sir Hugh Dunfern, the owner of Dunfern manor.

Poems of Puncture, the first book of poetry by Amanda McKittrick Ros, universally considered to be the best worst writer in the history of the English language, is here presented in its glorious entirety. Poems of Puncture contains many piercing verses spanning a broad range of themes, each clearly held great emotional importance to Amanda McKittrick Ros: a spa, her dog, her most beloved tree, and many poems devoted to people she didn't like, including "Largebones - The Lawyer" : Beneath me hear in stinking clumps, Lies Lawyer Largebones all in lumps ; A rotten mass of clockholed clay, Which grows more honeycombed each day. See how the rats have scratched his face ? Now so unlike the human race ; I very much regret I can't Assist them in their eager "bent." What the heck!?! Please Enjoy!
