From a stunning new voice in Irish literature, a searing and powerful debut collection of singularly brilliant and distinctive stories.
A young girl spends her days on a double-decker bus. A bride-to-be prays to St Valentine's bones. Bouquets are found all over a museum. Teenagers gather to dissect a human body. Brimming with compassion and thrumming with energy, these stories are scrupulous in their attention to detail, epic in their scope. In this bravura debut collection, Liadan NÃ Chuinn delivers a consummate blend of the personal and the political.
