The novel was warmly received and was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize.Īfter the death of her husband, Molly Keane moved to Ardmore, County Waterford, a place she knew well, and lived there with her two daughters, Sally and Virginia, until she died in 1996.

He stops to ask for directions from the Whether Man, who gives him a response is that there is no such thing as the right way and certainly no wrong roads to anywhere. In addition, there are coins and a map and so he does what any bored little boy would do under such conditions: he gets into his red car, pays the toll and drives through the tollbooth straight into a very strange world quite unlike his own.Īrriving in the Land of Expectations and consulting the map, he heads for the city of Dictionopolis. ![]() One day he arrives home to discover a mysterious tollbooth waiting in his room.
