Exile by Aimée Walsh

4.0

A slower paced read with colloquialised language and gritty themes of loneliness, friendship and party culture.

Exile follows FMC, Fiadh, a young woman from Belfast who loves a party. On the cusp of adulthood, exams finished and life stretching out before her, she goes out for a night on the town where everything changes [and in typical Irish fashion, the rumour mill and “shame” follow her into her new life despite physically leaving the country]. 

Another gorgeous example of Irish literature. Well worth the read.
