Bitches With Books - ‘Ordinary Saints' by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin
About this Event
In November we will be discussing 'Ordinary Saints' by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin:
' An arresting, unmissable debut novel shortlisted for the Women's Prize Discoveries award - an exploration of family, grief, queer identity, and the legacy of the Catholic Church in Ireland.
Can you imagine it? I'd say to them. Can you imagine me there in the front row in Saint Peter's Square? The lesbian sister of a literal saint.
Brought up in a devout household in Ireland, Jay is now living in London with her girlfriend, determined to live day to day and not think too much about either the future or the past. But when she learns that her beloved older brother, who died in a terrible accident, may be made into a Catholic saint, she realises she must at last confront her family, her childhood and herself .'
We have a table booked from 6.30pm at Lost in Leith - book chat starts at 7pm. Please only sign up if you can make the date. Hope to see you then!
