Ordinary Human Failings, by Megan Nolan
‘Ambitious and original’ DAVID NICHOLLS
‘Gripping… A triumph’ SUNDAY TIMES
It’s 1990 in London and, after the death of a young girl on an estate, the finger of suspicion is pointing at one reclusive Irish family: the Greens.
At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, other-worldly, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life – and love – got in her way. Now, as the scandal unfolds and the tabloids hunt their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generations.
