The City Changes its Face

From the award-winning author of A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing, Eimear McBride presents her much anticipated new novel, The City Changes Its Face, an intense story of passion, possessiveness and family.

Intimate, experiential, and immersive, the novel explores a love affair, between Eily and Stephen, tested to its limits from its early days of passion to the present where their world is merging with the commonplace and ties from the past are intruding.

Eimear McBride grew up in the west of Ireland. Her first novel, A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing won Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction, Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year, and the

Goldsmiths Prize. Her second novel, The Lesser Bohemians, won the 2016 James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize and the International Dublin Literary Award. In 2017 she was awarded the inaugural Creative Fellowship of the Beckett Research Centre, University of Reading and her third novel, Strange Hotel was published in 2020.
