Book Description
===================
“Darkly hilarious . . . Wildly entertaining.” —The GuardianMeet
Majella O’Neill, a heroine like no other, in this captivating Irish
debut that has been called Milkman meets Derry Girls Majella is
happiest out of the spotlight, away from her neighbors’ stares and the
gossips of the small town in Northern Ireland where she grew up during
the Troubles. She lives a quiet life caring for her alcoholic mother,
working in the local chip shop, watching the regular customers come
and go. She wears the same clothes each day (overalls, too small), has
the same dinner each night (fish and chips, microwaved at home after
her shift ends), and binge-watches old videotapes of the same show
(Dallas, best show on TV) from the comfort of her bed.  But underneath
Majella’s seemingly ordinary life are the facts that she doesn’t know
where her father is and that every person in her town has been changed
by the lingering divide between Protestants and Catholics. When
Majella’s predictable existence is upended by the death of her granny,
she comes to realize there may be more to life than the gossips of
Aghybogey, the pub, and the chip shop. In fact, there just may be a
whole big world outside her small town.  Told in a highly original
voice, with a captivating heroine readers will love and root for, Big
Girl, Small Town will appeal to fans of Sally Rooney, Ottessa
Moshfegh, and accessible literary fiction with an edge.
