\nFINDING PENELOPE
\nThirty three year old romance novelist Penelope Eames moves to Spain to avoid her oppressive father and drug-addicted brother, Dermot. When she meets Ram\u00f3n, a young Spanish school teacher, she is immediately attracted to him and feels the happiness that eluded her all her life may at last be hers. However, she receives a distress call from Dermot saying he is at the mercy of Charlie Eliot, a pimp and drug dealer on the Costa. Ram\u00f3n, whose mother was killed by a drug addict, tells her to have nothing to do with Charlie Eliot. Penelope must decide: is she prepared to compromise herself with Charlie Eliot and jeopardise her chance of happiness with Ram\u00f3n for the sake of her drug addicted brother?
\n\u2018A novel that will give deep, literary pleasure.\u2019
\nCarlo G\u00e9bler, author
\nLawless reinvented the millennia-worn story line to reveal not only a Dublin expat Costa del Sol akin to the RTE Love Hate series but beautiful writing.
\nCaitriona Kiernan Books Ireland
\n\u2018Penelope is an authentic voice, full of human contradiction and composed desperation.\u2019 Hilary A White, Sunday Independent.
