I felt that I was carried along on the voice of Eimear McBride as she narrated The City Changes It’s Face. I actually had to check if this was written as some sort of prose-poem because of the cadence, but no. I was hearing it the way it should be read (and here is the number one reason why I love audiobooks).

This is the sequel to The Lesser Bohemians - which I haven’t read. I didn’t feel that I needed to have read it to understand this book, but I will go back and read it, based on how much I enjoyed this.

The style of writing feels experimental, especially when we experience a lengthy description of a film that Stephen makes from the perspective of Eily watching it (I wished I could watch it too).

Obviously, it could be argued that I’ve started my Eimear McBride reading experience in the wrong place, but at least I have somewhere to go next! This novel really made me want to catch up with her previous work.
