Synopsis

Gus and Joan worked hard to give their children everything - a comfortable home in a leafy Dublin neighbourhood, gap years that never seem to end and an open chequebook for life's little emergencies. Unfortunately, although the children have grown up, they are a little too comfortable with the well-feathered nest: now it's time to learn a few home truths.

When a twist of fate means the bank of Mum and Dad can no longer bail them out, suddenly the whole family must find out who they really are. Uncovering the secrets they all hide shows them a different side to the city they call home as they find allies in the most unlikely places.

Media Reviews
Each & Every One is a stylish read, a great plot with wonderfully colourful characters. A story with humour and fun, and a story with a message -- Anne Cater * THINGS THROUGH MY LETTER BOX blog *
Each and Every One is a smart book ... adult children learn to stand on their own two feet after the Bank of Mum and Dad goes under - it cleverly explores the broader impact of the recession * STYLIST *
English writes well and with a keen sense of absurdity. The appeal of the book is the authenticity of its portrait of Dublin today ... [an] entertaining and lively novel. * IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAY *
Something of a moral fable, it's pacey, lively fun * SUNDAY MIRROR *
English has produced an engaging tale, peppered with sharp insights and a strong story arc . . . an easy read, but a clever one too that cements her reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the books market. -- Rowena Walsh * IRISH INDEPENDENT *
This was a wonderful story, so well told. At times it's very funny, at other times it's heartbreakingly sad . . . I absolutely loved it -- Anne Williams * BEING ANNE Blog *
An insightful book about the ties that really hold families together * IRISH COUNTRY MAGAZINE *
The author criticises a media culture predicated on dizzying highs and terrifying lows . . . English skilfully weaves these insights into the story through her characters, helping to jolly along a predictable but readable plot. * IRISH TIMES *
As with Going Back, her characters are full of life, and her dialogue brims with wit and emotion. This is an engaging read, and an easy one, but no less clever for it. * SUNDAY BUSINESS POST *
A fabulously unique idea and extremely well delivered by Rachael English * BOOK LOVE BUG *
Funny, sad, ironic and warm. Right from page one I was engaged and settled down for a very contented read. * BETWEEN MY LINES *
Rachael English has such an impressive way with words, her amazing and unique writing style is definitely part of the greatness of this story. If you haven't bought this book yet, you should. * LAVENDER LIBRARIAN *
Rachael English is a perceptive writer with a great eye for the details of family life. Great story, well imagined and well written. * LIBRARIES NI *
