Netta is cool, contemptuous and hopelessly desirable to George. George is adrift in a drunken hell, except in his 'dead' moments, when something goes click in his head and he realises, without a doubt, that he must kill her. In the darkly comic Hangover Square Patrick Hamilton brilliantly evokes a seedy, fog-bound world of saloon bars, lodging houses and boozing philosophers, immortalising the slang and conversational tone of a whole generation and capturing the premonitions of doom that pervaded London life in the months before the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hamilton, Patrick \u0026 Quinn, Anthony","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44340453867810,"sku":"9780349141565","price":14.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49629653238099,"sku":"XV80349141565","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/hamilton-patrick-quinn-anthony-patrick-hamilton-hangover-square-2016-paperback-59552883179859.jpg?v=1729332130","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/hangover-square","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
