Skin Deep - the new novel from Catherine Barry

'Rich with Irish humour and universal truths, Skin Deep cuts through the world's outer shell to reveal real, flawed people you care about ... by turns witty and tragic: its poignancy will remain long after you've read it' - Cathy Kelly

Skin Deep is available from bookstores now...

With her characteristic blend of humour and pathos, Catherine Barry introduces us to Finn, a woman who decides that her failed relationships and poor job prospects could all be wiped out if only her appearance was different.

Forget the past of a dysfunctional childhood – Finn thinks that plastic surgery would make her world a better place. With bigger breasts, she will finally be happy. Or will she?

Catherine Barry writes with intuition and humour about modern women. In The House That Jack Built, she explored the story of alcohol addiction; in Null And Void, she looked at marriage breakdown and the pain of moving on. Now, in Skin Deep, she focuses on self-image and one woman’s idea that changing herself on the outside, will sort out the problems of the inside.
