Okay, Okay, Okay – Finuala Dowling

Description

Okay, Okay, Okay by Finuala Dowling is a witty and engaging novel that explores the intricate dynamics of communication and connection in a world full of complexities. When a strike by the technical staff at the University of Adamastor coincides with a lull in sound operator Vida’s employment, she agrees to stage-manage a university event.
