520    In this dazzlingly original debut novel, award-winning 
       Irish writer Caoilinn Hughes introduces a heroine of 
       mythic proportions in the form of one Gael Foess. A tough,
       thoughtful, and savvy opportunist, Gael is determined to 
       live life on her own terms. Raised in Dublin by single-
       minded, careerist parents, Gael learns early how a 
       person's ambitions and ideals can be compromised-- and she
       refuses to let her vulnerable, unwell younger brother, 
       Guthrie, suffer such sacrifices. When Gael's financier 
       father walks out on them during the economic crash of 2008,
       her family fractures. Her mother, a once-formidable 
       orchestral conductor, becomes a shadow. And a fateful 
       incident prevents Guthrie from finishing high school. 
       Determined not to let her loved-ones fall victim to 
       circumstance, Gael leaves Dublin for the coke-dusted 
       social clubs of London and Manhattan's gallery scene, 
       always working an angle, but beginning to become a 
       stranger to those who love her. Written in electric, heart
       -stopping prose, Orchid & the Wasp is a novel about 
       gigantic ambitions and hard-won truths, chewing through 
       sexuality, class, and politics, and crackling with joyful,
       anarchic fury. It challenges bootstraps morality with 
       questions of what we owe one another and what we earn. A 
       first novel of astonishing talent, Orchid & the Wasp 
       announces Caoilinn Hughes as one of the most exciting 
       literary writers working today.
