Dublin
The novel is set in Dublin although it’s merely a backdrop location wise as few places are mentioned by name. What it does give is a sense of the Irish spirit, sense of humour and pride.It’s clearly an Irish novel and the author herself was raised in Dublin so the Irish charm is infused in the story of the women.
There are the perfect places to visit in the city if you are yourself on a girl’s night out or a girly holiday however although not the prison where one of the characters later visits! Try the Half Penny Bridge and the array of shops in the city centre including the famous Grafton Street.
Ballyglen sounds nice but sadly is fictional.One of the characters hails from here. Probably in Wexford since the former reporter from there seems to know the place.
