An intimate, bracingly intelligent debut novel about a millennial Irish expat who becomes entangled in a love triangle with a male banker and a female lawyer

Ava, newly arrived in Hong Kong from Dublin, spends her days teaching English to rich children.

Julian is a banker. A banker who likes to spend money on Ava, to have sex and discuss fluctuating currencies with her. But when she asks whether he loves her, he cannot say more than I like you a great deal.

Enter Edith. A Hong Kong-born lawyer, striking and ambitious, Edith takes Ava to the theater and leaves her tulips in the hallway. Ava wants to be her--and wants her.

And then Julian writes to tell Ava he is coming back to Hong Kong... Should Ava return to the easy compatibility of her life with Julian or take a leap into the unknown with Edith?

Politically alert, heartbreakingly raw, and dryly funny, Exciting Times is thrillingly attuned to the great freedoms and greater uncertainties of modern love. In stylish, uncluttered prose, Naoise Dolan dissects the personal and financial transactions that make up a life--and announces herself as a singular new voice.

Feels great after cheap work soap hand washes
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is great. I reapply ALL the time because I have it at work.I wash my hands frequently and the soap at the work is very harsh, cheap, and generally just terrible on the skin.I use this after every wash and it leaves my hands and arms soft and moisturized. I have also received compliments on how nice my office smells after I apply it. While that might make it sound as if the scent is very strong, it isn't. It's nice, and lingers for a bit, but it is not overpowering or overwhelming. The tub goes a long way, and the container at my desk has lasted for months, and a little goes a long way. I appreciate that the container seals well and doesn't leak. Sometimes when I take other lotions on the go with me, I worry that the little flap top will open up and make a mess. That is not a problem with this jar AT ALL. It is easy to close and stays closed, even when I throw it in my bag and then throw my bag around a bit in transport.

Wonderful for my super dry skin
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This moisturizer is great, I have no complaints. I have VERY dry skin and live in Chicago - where winters only make matters worse. This product has actually healed my dry, cracked skin and improved it's overall condition. It absorbs quickly and the scent is mild. I apply it after exfoliating in the shower at night and when I wake up, my skin is soft and looks healthy.
