A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing

Eimear McBride

Eimear McBride's award-winning debut novel tells the story of a young woman's relationship with her brother, and the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumour. It is a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist. The author's spellbinding reading illuminates every nuance of the text with feeling and sympathy.

Michael Chabon has described A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing as “A life told from deep down inside, beautiful, harrowing, and ultimately rewarding the way only a brilliant work of literature can be.”
