From the Costa-shortlisted, Irish Book Award-shortlisted author of
Montpelier Parade, a heartrending novel about finding the person
who understands you like nobody else Juno loves Legs. She's loved
him since their first encounter at school in Dublin, the time she
fought the playground bullies for him. Her bright spirit makes his
courage flare; his tenderness makes her safe. Together, they feel
invincible, even if the world has other ideas. This is their story.
Selected as a Book of the Year in 2017 in the Irish Times and The
Times SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2017 'A delicate,
crystalline, hugely impressive novel... He's yet another masterful
younger writer coming through... Wonderful' - Sebastian Barry Her
house is on Montpelier Parade - just across town, but it might as
well be a different world. Sonny is fixing a crumbling wall in the
garden when he sees her for the first time, coming down the path
towards him. Vera. Vera is older, wealthier, sophisticated, but
chance meetings quickly become shy arrangements, and soon Sonny is
in love for the first time. But there is something unsettling that
Vera is keeping from him. Unfolding in the sea-bright Dublin of
early spring, Montpelier Parade is an indelible novel about the
things that remain unspoken between lovers. It is about how deeply
we can connect with one another, and the choices we must make
alone. Longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2017
