The vibrant energy of 1990s London. A year of passion and discovery. The anxiety and intensity of new love.

An eighteen-year-old Irish girl arrives in London to study drama and falls violently in love with an older actor. While she is naive and thrilled by life in the big city, he is haunted by demons. The clamorous relationship that ensues risks undoing them both. At once epic and exquisitely intimate, The Lesser Bohemians is a celebration of the dark and the light in love.

Eimear McBride first novel A Girl is a Half-formed Thing took nine years to find a publisher and subsequently received a number of awards, including the Women's Prize and the Goldsmiths Prize. Her second novel The Lesser Bohemians won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. In 2017 she was awarded the inaugural Creative Fellowship of the Beckett Research Centre.
