by Neville Thompson (Author)
The original gritty Dublin novel of the classic love story about Hard Man Johnser Kiely and his long-suffering partner Jackie Clarke. A best-selling novel, first released in 1997, this story is still as important and relevant today. Visionary French filmmaker Gilles Lellouche 'L'Amour Ouf' brings Thompson's gritty and hilarious tale to life on the big screen. The film's international title 'Beating Hearts' closed to a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.
