Description

In 1990s London, an eighteen-year-old Irish girl arrives to study drama and finds herself consumed by a passionate, tumultuous love affair with an older, enigmatic actor. As their relationship deepens, she grapples with the intoxicating highs of newfound desire and the unsettling shadows of his past. This coming-of-age story is a raw and lyrical exploration of identity, artistic awakening, and the fierce, often painful, journey into womanhood. McBride's distinctive, experimental prose plunges the reader into the heart of a young woman's intense experience, capturing both the exhilaration and the vulnerability of first love.
