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 DVDs of the same show (\u003ci\u003eDallas\u003c\/i\u003e, best show on TV) from the comfort of her bed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Told in a highly original voice, with a captivating heroine readers will love and root for, \u003ci\u003eBig Girl, Small Town\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to fans of Sally Rooney, Ottessa Moshfegh, and accessible literary fiction with an edge.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348956881200,"sku":"BDe4ts","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49348957012272,"sku":"ZEe4ts","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49348957110576,"sku":"ZMe4ts","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/e4ts-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778146322","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-e4ts","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
