Ordinary Saints: An unmissable, moving and funny exploration of family, grief and queer identity.
What if you had escaped your devout family in Ireland to live your best queer life - then your brother became a candidate for sainthood?
An unmissable, award-winning, moving and funny exploration of family, grief and queer identity.
Can you imagine it? I'd say to them. Can you imagine me there in the front row in Saint Peter's Square? The lesbian sister of a literal saint.
Brought up in a devout household in Ireland, Jay is now living in London with her girlfriend, determined to live day to day and not think too much about either the future or the past. But when she learns that her beloved older brother, who died in a terrible accident, may be made into a Catholic saint, she realises she must at last confront her family, her childhood and herself . . .
Inspired by the author's own devout upbringing,Ā Ordinary SaintsĀ is a brilliant debut novel from a fresh, exciting new voice which asks - who gets to decide how we are remembered - and who we will become?
