Eimear McBride, who won the Baileys prize in 2014 for a first novel which had struggled to find a publisher, won Britain’s oldest literary award, the James Tait Black prize, for her second, The Lesser Bohemians.

McBride’s The Lesser Bohemians, in which an 18-year-old Irish girl comes to London and falls for an older actor, was described by judges as “an extraordinary rendering of a young woman’s consciousness as she eagerly embarks on a new life in London”.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Red Knight (The Traitor Son Cycle, #1) in Books

This is another one of those books that I liked, but didn't finish for one reason or another. Right now in my life I've had to stop listening to the audiobook so many times that I don't remember names and what's going on. However I absolutely loved what I listened to. Hopefully the next time I go on a long car-trip i'll be able to focus on it and make some headway on it.

language and sexual references. Ages 18+.

I'm not good at mentally reading in Wil Wheaton's voice so I prefer the audio book. (0 more)

A little bit action and a whole lot of nostalgia

Very possible future society. Full story that ends with twists and turns, with a completely relatable protagonist. Wade's behavior and perspectives are realistic and attainable - he reminds me of my 18 year old in many ways. Also, if you do the audiobook, Wil Wheaton narrates, and he's a wonderful narrator.
