About this ebook
AN IRISH TIMES TOP 100 BEST IRISH BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK MEMORIAL PRIZE
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE
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.

This is a wonderful story of lust, love, life and the mistakes that go with those three essentials.
