Academy Street Book

Written by one of Ireland's most exciting new voices, Mary Costello, Academy Street tells the life story of shy and introverted Tess in this profoundly moving debut.

Beautifully written and profoundly moving, this novel comes from an author we're certain to hear much more of in the future.Academy Street by Mary Costello has been shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award.
