WINNER OF THE ROONEY PRIZE 2018 A modern Irish literary gem for anyone who has felt like the odd one out. ‘Inventive, funny and, ultimately, moving’ GUARDIAN ‘Wildly funny’ THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ‘Beguiling’ THE IRISH TIMES ‘Delightfully quirky’ THE IRISH INDEPENDENT

Eggshells

This book was beautiful written and a little somber. Vivian has a lot of quirks, some of which explain themselves later in the novel. But I find myself with a lot of questions after reading this book. There's so much more about Vivian and her life that I want to know about that I'm not sure will ever become clear. The small glimpse we get into Vivian's backstory is enough to make your blood boil, while also filling you with immense sadness. I don't think I would reread but it was interesting to see such a unique story and character play out the way they did.
