About the event
Join us for an evening at The Scarlett Letters bookshop in conversation with author Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin to discuss her brilliant debut novel Ordinary Saints.
Brought up in a devout household in Ireland, Jay is now living in London with her girlfriend, determined to live day to day and not think too much about either the future or the past. But when she learns that her beloved older brother, who died in a terrible accident, may be made into a Catholic saint, she realises she must at last confront her family, her childhood and herself...
Inspired by the author's own upbringing, Ordinary Saints is a brilliant debut novel from a fresh, exciting new voice, which asks - who gets to decide how we are remembered - and who we will become?
Doors will open just after 6pm for a 6:30pm start.
