Following the prize-winning A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing, details have been released of Eimear McBride's eagerly awaited follow-up though fans will have to wait another year to get their hands on the novel.
The Lesser Bohemians explores the relationship between an 18-year-old Irish drama student and an older actor she meets in London.
Set in the bedsits and squats of mid-1990s north London, the book is described as “a story about love and innocence, joy and discovery".
Eimear spent nine years trying to attract attention for her debut novel A Girl is a Half-formed Thing which details the inner narrative of a girl from the womb to the age of twenty.
The novel later went on to win a score of literary awards including the prestigious Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction and the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year.
The stage adaptation of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing also won three awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year.
