       bracingly intelligent debut novel about a millennial Irish
       expat who becomes entangled in a love triangle with a male
       banker and a female lawyer    Ava , newly arrived in Hong 
       Kong from Dublin, spends her days teaching English to rich
       children.   Julian  is a banker. A banker who likes to 
       spend money on Ava, to have sex and discuss fluctuating 
       currencies with her. But when she asks whether he loves 
       her, he cannot say more than "I like you a great deal."   
       Enter  Edith . A Hong Kong–born lawyer, striking and
       ambitious, Edith takes Ava to the theater and leaves her 
       tulips in the hallway. Ava wants to be her—and wants
       her.   And then Julian writes to tell Ava he is coming 
       back to Hong Kong... Should Ava return to the easy 
       compatibility of her life with Julian or take a leap into 
       the unknown with Edith?  Politically alert, 
       heartbreakingly raw, and dryly funny, Exciting Times is 
       thrillingly attuned to the great freedoms and greater 
       uncertainties of modern love. In stylish, uncluttered 
       prose, Naoise Dolan dissects the personal and financial 
       transactions that make up a life—and announces 
       herself as a singular new voice.
