Dan Binchys first two novels were delightful stories of small town Ireland and filled with a range of eccentric and hilarious characters. Both books received warm praiseThe Washington Post called The Neon Madonna terrifically funny and a hilarious read. Booklist called The Last Resort an endearing and entertaining combination of warmth and wit. Loopy has all of those attributes and more. Follow a young golfer with an unique hitch to his swing as he learns the game of golf. Along the way, our hero must deal with a whole host of problems on and off the course. Through it all, Binchy imbues the work with a wonderful feel of small town Ireland and, of course, the Irish spirit.
