An immensely lovable debut novel . . . Its the kind of magic youll feel lucky to find. Ron Charles, The Washington PostSHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARDFINALIST FOR THE IRISH BOOK AWARD FOR NEWCOMER OF THE YEARFINALIST FOR THE COMEDY WOMEN IN PRINT PRIZEMeet Majella ONeill, a heroine like no other, in this captivating Irish debut that has been called Milkman meets Derry GirlsMajella is happiest out of the spotlight, away from her neighbors stares and the gossips of the small town in Northern Ireland where she grew up just after the Troubles. She lives a quiet life caring for her alcoholic mother, working in the local chip shop, watching the regular customers come and go. She wears the same clothes each day (overalls, too small), has the same dinner each night (fish and chips, microwaved at home after her shift ends), and bingewatches old DVDs of the same show (Dallas, best show on TV) from the comfort of her bed.But underneath Majellas seemingly ordinary life are the facts that she doesnt know where her father is and that every person in her town has been changed by the lingering divide between Protestants and Catholics. When Majellas predictable existence is upended by the death of her granny, she comes to realize there may be more to life than the gossips of Aghybogey, the pub, and the chip shop. In fact, there just may be a whole big world outside her small town.Told in a highly original voice, with a captivating heroine readers will love and root for, Big Girl, Small Town will appeal to fans of Sally Rooney, Ottessa Moshfegh, and accessible literary fiction with an edge.
