A collection that takes us to Glanbeigh, a small town in rural Ireland - a town in which the youth have the run of the place. Boy racers speed down the back lanes; couples haunt the midnight woods; young skins huddle in the cold once The Peacock has closed its doors. Here the young live hard. It matters whose sister you were seen with.
A critically acclaimed collection of stories from a young Irish writer, winner of the Frank O'Connor short story award, and longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. Barrett takes us to a small town in rural Ireland which the youth have the run of.
