In the final days of the 1980's, a young man from the Irish countryside arrives in the city, full of youthful exuberance and hope. However, in addition to his meagre belongings, he carries with him the weight of emotional baggage that threatens to bring infamy to his adopted city. 

Follow his journey as he confronts the challenges of his new life. Loss, love and luck all play a part in this tale from modern Ireland. 

'The Finest' is the third novel from Kieran Ginty, following on from "The Boys of Ballycroy" (2013) and "Mayo Ghost" (2014)
