** WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK MEMORIAL PRIZE **
** SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE **
The second novel from Eimear McBride, author of the Baileys Prize winning novel, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing.
The vibrant energy of 1990s London. A year of passion and discovery. The anxiety and intensity of new love.
An eighteen-year-old Irish girl arrives in London to study drama and falls violently in love with an older actor. While she is naive and thrilled by life in the big city, he is haunted by demons. The clamorous relationship that ensues risks undoing them both. At once epic and exquisitely intimate, The Lesser Bohemians is a celebration of the dark and the light in love.
