The brothers Murphy "Hit one out of the park" with their co-written novel. The true essence of the coming of age struggles between brothers is masterfully described in The Running Waves. Whether the brother's demons are failed love, or the bottle, or both, Colin and Dermot's lives are captivatingly depicted in this "page turner" of a summer novel. Music of the age is masterfully intertwined throughout the plot lines and I could just about hear the tunes while reading the scene described. Which beckons the reader to make a new playlist on their i-pod of the music from the book.
