520 $aDonoghue's theme throughout is the unmentionable - the 'touchy subject'. The title story refers to the unspoken intimacy during a hotel liaison between a career woman, Sarah, and an awkward married man, Padraic. Their meeting, it transpires, has been arranged by Padraic's wife Carmel, Sarah's best friend. With Carmel's blessing Padraic has taken on the role of sperm donor for the pregnancy Sarah craves. There's only one problem: Padraic is failing to rise to the challenge. Locked in a hotel bathroom, he wants to do the right thing but is horrified by how embarrassing the whole business is. Meanwhile Sarah is poised with her syringe. For Donoghue humour and shame are closely linked, so you're laughing as much as you're cringing.
