A young girl spends her days on a double-decker bus. A bride-to-be prays to St Valentine’s bones. Flowers are found, left in bouquets, all over a museum. Teenagers gather to dissect the human body.
Hailed by Kevin Power in his Irish Times review as ‘a collection of six short stories by a debut writer that immediately asks to be considered among this island’s signal 21st-century literary achievements’, Every One Still Here delivers a consummate blend of the personal and the political. Teeming with compassion and energy, Liadan Ní Chuinn’s work is scrupulous in its attention to detail, epic in scope.
