Dublin. Mid 1930s. Myles is a character in a novel
in which most of the action takes place in his mind.
Myles falls out with the author, and the characters
then rebel. For example; a louche couple run away
to settle down and open a country post office.

Sounds weird. But it all makes sense once the premise
is accepted.

A good adaption of a fine novel.
