Over the next six weeks leading up to the 2016 winner’s announcement, we’ll be featuring a sample from each book on this year’s brilliant shortlist. Next up is Lisa McInerney’s The Glorious Heresies, a daring debut about the lives of five misfits who exist on the fringes of Ireland’s post-crash society.
Sit back, relax, kick off your shoes (maybe even pour yourself a cheeky Baileys) and enjoy the first chapter of The Glorious Heresies.
Tune into host Vick Hope and a line-up of incredible guests on our weekly podcast full of unmissable book recommendations.
