About this listen

The second novel from the Costa Prize shortlisted author of Big Girl, Small Town.

It is the summer of 1994. In a small town on the Irish border, Maeve and her two friends have just secured summer jobs in the local shirt factory. They plan to make as much money as they can while waiting for their A Level results before getting out of town and away to the UK.

As the summer progresses and the marching season begins, tensions in the factory start to rise between the Catholic and Protestant workforce and events escalate putting Maeve's chance of escape in jeopardy.

5 stars all round. The characters really came to life with the fantastic narration. Some very funny one-liners, but also real pathos. Would definitely recommend.
