Review
Praise for Ni Chonchuir's Nude: 'Nude is a gorgeous collection. It's sexy, intelligent, sensual, challenging and, even better, an addictive read. Highly recommended.' Jennifer Matthews, Southword. 'The stories are composed of agile narrative voices, lively dialogue and - there is a confident, suggestive power that lingers' Katie Donovan, Irish Times.
Product Description
This is a debut novel from established short-story writer and poet about a 10-year-old girl who lives with her separated mother and two brothers. Set against the semi-urban backdrop of the River Liffey in 1980, the story unfolds through the narrator's observations and interactions, and her naive interpretations of adult conversations and behaviour. Heartbreaking at times, but it is also optimistic, humorous and enchanting. Praise for Ni Chonchuir's "Nude": '"Nude" is a gorgeous collection. It's sexy, intelligent, sensual, challenging and, even better, an addictive read. Highly recommended' - Jennifer Matthews, Southword. 'The stories are composed of agile narrative voices, lively dialogue and - there is a confident, suggestive power that lingers' - Katie Donovan, "Irish Times".

Moving and funny,

This review is from: You (Paperback)
I loved this book. I was completely engrossed by it, and from about halfway through I was in floods of tears while still having the odd wry smile. Told in the pitch-perfect voice of a thoughtful yet spiky ten-year-old girl living by the Liffey with her mother and two younger brothers, it's a touching and generous portrait of the vulnerability yet toughness of people under stress, very moving yet humorous with brilliantly vivid characters. And brilliantly written by a prize-winning writer.
