Aoife Duffin

A Girl is a Half-formed Thing follows the inner narrative of a girl, from the womb to twenty, with vivid intensity and originality.

This is a character of astonishing resilience and intelligence, someone determined to make sense of things amidst the deprivation of her Irish childhood. Rebellious, unrelenting, with biting wit and brilliant spark, Eimear McBride writes with an urgency and honesty that is totally electric in performance.
