The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride

To celebrate the publication of the much-anticipated second novel from Bailey’s prize winning author Eimear McBride, we are offering three lucky reading groups the chance to read The Lesser Bohemians and put their questions to the author.

Each group will be asked to post a review online and have the opportunity to ask the author a question. The best questions will be answered by the author and published on Reading Groups for Everyone!

To apply please log in and fill in your details by Friday 29 July.
