Roundabout: a modern day Vanity Fair
A novel set in Ireland, with no hero or heroine – love, comedy, drama – life!
Millie and Sooze set out on their separate ventures into life, meeting Josh, Danny, Johnny, Tommy and others. For some of these people, their ride on the roundabout of life ends well – for others it doesn’t.
Is there more to life’s roundabout than pleasure or misery?

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want an entertaining and thought-provoking read this is the book for you.
Do these complex characters gain happiness and security or rather should they gain them? Do they accomplish those benefits by being selfless and good, or by acting in their own selfish self-interests? The themes of loyalty without hope of gain are questioned in this thought-provoking new read by author Gerry McCullough.
The author once more takes you to Northern Island and the descriptions color that world wonderfully well for the reader.
The pivotal characters of Millie and Sooze are beautifully fleshed out and clearly visible as they undertake a life as friends that neither one of them initially anticipated. The dialogue is rich, and the interactions between all the characters make for entertaining reading.
This author shows a depth of empathy with these people she’s created, this brings the book alive.
If you want an entertaining and thought-provoking read this is the book for you. I highly recommend it.
