Ladies’ Night at Finbar’s Hotel

A novel by Maeve Binchy, Clare Boylan, Emma Donoghue, Anne Haverty, Eilis Ni Dhuibhne, Kate O’Riordan, Deirdre Purcell; devised and edited by Dermot Bolger.

A year has passed since the closing of Finbar’s Hotel, a down-on-its-heels hotel on the Dublin quays. Now it has reopened its doors – as an ultra-chic Euro hotel. Ladies’ Night describes, with inimitable Irish wit, one night in its newly illustrious surroundings. In one room a man surreptitiously helps his wife’s friend get pregnant, while next door a businesswoman battles her father. And down the hall, a nun struggles with the most important mission of her life. A spirited mix of pathos and humor, this is a tour of the human experience, told with panache by Ireland’s finest modern storytellers.
