"Godt selskab" fortæller en klassisk trekantshistorie men er også en meget moderne kærlighedshistorie, hvor kærligheden er uforpligtende. Ava, for nyligt ankommet til Hong Kong fra Dublin, tilbringer sine dage med at undervise kinesiske børn i engelsk. Julian er bankmand. Han kan lide at bruge penge på Ava, og at have sex og diskutere ustabile valutaer med hende. Men når Ava spørger, om han elsker hende, kan han ikke sige mere end ’Jeg kan godt lide dig‘. Ind træder Edith, advokat, og forfriskende entusiastisk, men også kompromisløst ærlig. Da Julian bliver udstationeret til London, inviterer Edith Ava i teatret og viser hende Hong Kong. Og Edith bliver hurtigt noget, som Ava ser frem til."Godt selskab" er en mangefacetteret og fascinerende roman, som er lynende intelligent, brutalt morsom og skrevet med hjerte.Om forfatteren:Naoise Dolan (f. 1992 i Dublin) har læst engelsk litteratur ved Trinity College Dublin og Oxford University og bor nu i London.
