About
One of our major novelists … the life here radiates through the pages and illuminates ours.' ― The Guardian
To celebrate the publication of her latest novel The City Changes Its Face, we are delighted to welcome award-winning Irish novelist Eimear McBride to The Helicon.
An intimate and immersive story of passion, jealousy and family, the book revisits the characters from The Lesser Bohemians (which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize), exploring the complexities of love and obsession set over one rainy night in Camden in 1996.
It took 27-year-old Eimear just six months to write her first novel A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing and almost a decade trying to sell it. When finally published in 2013 it took the literary scene by storm winning critical acclaim and awards (Women's Prize for Fiction, Irish Novel of the Year, the Goldsmiths Prize and others). Her third novel, Strange Hotel, further cemented her singular place in the contemporary canon.
Eimear talks to author Paula Shields about her trailblazing career.
