Every One Still Here

'I get the feeling that Liadan Ní Chuinn would hate the term "voice of a generation", but it may be foisted on them nonetheless - and with good reason' Sunday TimesA young girl spends her days on a double-decker bus.

A bride-to-be prays to St Valentine's bones. Bouquets are found all over a museum. Teenagers gather to dissect a human body. Brimming with compassion and thrumming with energy, these stories are scrupulous in their attention to detail, epic in their scope.

In this bravura debut collection, Liadan Ní Chuinn delivers a consummate blend of the personal and the political.
