But a happy ending is always achieved, and always arrived at with conviction and satisfaction. Dev writes with an apparent ease that sucks us into her characters and their stories. Sonali Dev’s first four novels, from A Bollywood Affair to A Distant Heart, are easily some of my favourite books of all time. In fact, while the others’s impact has been through extensions and mutations of the base work, I’d say Pride and Prejudice has the distinction of living on through numerous re-tellings and adaptations that take care to preserve the base storyline. Jane Austen’s novel is as seminal as Frankenstein or Dracula or Oliver Twist, and has had as much impact on Western pop culture. If one were looking for the origin of the modern-day romance novel, they’d land more often than not on Pride and Prejudice. ![]()

It is partly a philosophical quarrel with Sartre’s La Nausée it is brilliant and innovative.

My idea of the possible novels in English shifted in my head. The Bell I devoured, entranced, involved, feeling puritanically that perhaps a novel had no right to be both so completely readable and so certainly serious. I had admired it, and puzzled over it, and had been uncomfortably aware that I had not understood either quite what it was about, or why it was the shape it was. Earlier in Cambridge a prescient friend had given me Under the Net, saying he thought it was my kind of book. I wanted to write a novel-I was writing a novel-and I feared I would never learn how, and should perhaps not be trying.

Mickey Harte celebrates Tyrone’s Ulster Championship win in 2003. Winning an All-Ireland is incredibly difficult, but breaking through the psychological barrier of achieving it for the first time in your county’s history is an even steeper incline. And as an opposing manager, he made you think. He developed a collective approach to defending, harnessed the power of the group and was fearless in taking the big guns on and, crucially, beating them. Tactically, he was a trailblazer, implementing everything from scoring full backs where tacklers like Joe McMahon played further up the field, to tactical substitutions – the Peter Canavan switch has become part of GAA folklore. Harte was a pioneer and he moved the needle in terms of how we think about football. ![]() I knew in my heart that if we could beat Tyrone we had a great chance of winning Ulster, because they were the kings of the province at the time. In those first few years in charge of the Donegal seniors, there wasn’t a day I didn’t think of him or Tyrone. As a young manager starting out, Harte was the barometer for me. ![]() |
