Bessie Book Club: The Glorious Heresies

Enjoy a sneak peek of the 2016 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction shortlist with The Bessie Book Club.

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.
