YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

McBride won the inaugural Goldsmiths Prize in 2013 and the 2014 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction for her astonishing debut novel, A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing, a young woman’s passionate elegy for her brother that jolted readers with Joycean language and was as much a stream of nerve as of consciousness. In her eagerly awaited second novel, McBride evokes mid-nineties north London as she follows an eighteen-year-old Irish drama student through a host of new experiences, including an affair with an established actor twenty years her senior. Age, however, is the least of the many complicating factors in this turbulent relationship.
