Eimear McBride's debut novel A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing was published in 2013 to an avalanche of praise: nominated for a host of literary awards and declared by Vanity Fair to be "One of the most groundbreaking pieces of literature to come from Ireland, or anywhere, in recent years," McBride's bold, wholly original prose immediately established her as a literary force. Now, she brings her singular voice to an unlikely love story.

"The Lesser Bohemians is every bit as stylistically resourceful as Girl, every bit as urgent and authentic. It is also more well-rounded, better... As for the content, it is equally harrowing, but the pain is leavened by headiness and hope... The Lesser Bohemians is a full-on sensory experience — and another superlative achievement."  -  Toby Lichtig, The Wall Street Journal

One night in London an eighteen-year-old girl, recently arrived from Ireland to study drama, meets an older actor and a tumultuous relationship ensues. Set across the bedsits and squats of mid-nineties north London, The Lesser Bohemians is a story about love and innocence, joy and discovery, the grip of the past and the struggle to be new again.

A captivating story of passion and innocence, joy and discovery set against the vibrant atmosphere of 1990s London over the course of a single year, The Lesser Bohemians glows with the eddies and anxieties of growing up, and the transformative intensity of a powerful new love.

"In both books, language alternately delights and devastates, twisting without turning into a gimmick; instead, the beauty of grammatical function is on display… McBride’s second novel is often about excitement and possibility… I found myself almost embarrassed to be devouring it, hoping for the happy ending I was not expecting of McBride or either of these characters."  -  Vice
