OLWEN. NELL. MAEVE. RHONA. MEET THE FLATTERY SISTERS.
'Superb is the only word for this novel.' Irish Times
'Surprising and delightful... The Alternatives made me laugh, cry, and think.' Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
Four gifted Irish sisters confront an uncertain future in this dazzling novel from a major literary talent. Perfect for fans of Jonathan Franzen, Maggie O'Farrell and Claire Vaye Watkins.
Olwen, Nell, Maeve and Rhona were plunged prematurely into adulthood when their parents died in tragic circumstances. Now in their thirties, they have each carved out impressive careers - living distant lives, fighting separate battles. But Olwen's disappearance is about to change everything.
A geologist haunted by the weight of the earth's past and a crushing awareness of its volatile future, Olwen abruptly vanishes from her home without a trace. Her sisters track her down to a remote bungalow in rural Ireland, with little electricity and patchy connection to the outside world. Together for the first time in years, the sisters vie to confront old wounds and diagnose new ills - most urgently, Olwen's.
Fiercely witty and unexpectedly hopeful, The Alternatives is an unforgettable portrait of a family perched on our collective precipice, told by one of Ireland's most gifted storytellers.

Great quality and solved my space problem
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel
I bought this room divider to separate my bedroom and create a private area for my clothing racks. It completely exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent, the material feels sturdy, and it arrived in perfect condition. The delivery was also very fast, which was a big plus.
What I loved the most is how well it works as an actual divider. I opened it almost all the way, leaving just a small fold, and it sits exactly the way I wanted. For extra stability, I added double sided tape on the floor, and that kept everything perfectly in place.
Overall, it did exactly what I needed. It looks beautiful, it is functional, and it helped a lot with organizing my space. I definitely recommend it.

Chic and simple
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 4-panel, Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 4-panel
When fully unfolded this is a great room divider. Folded up, it does not stand well on its own. I had some issues upon arrival and the seller took care of it for me, just somewhat slowly. These are pricey for how the quality feels, but it gets the job done as a privacy screen for the office area in our apartment.

Very nice for the price! Don’t regret buying it
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel, Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel
Better than I thought. I bought it for my remote job and it blocks everything out perfectly.
* Came pre-built (thank goodness), sturdy, & no tears/rips in the “fabric”.
* Everything is in good shape.
* Folds up nicely
* Doesn’t tip over easily (you gotta put some force into it).
* It’s not transparent, however, light does filter through and if someone is standing or walking close to the divider (like a few inches away from the divider) you can see a shadow/a figure.
* I have a standing desk and it still covers everything (I’m 5’6” & my camera gets about to 6’4ish)
Photos are of me sitting & standing and the dividers still covering my entire background minus my ceiling light fixture
