Annie Macmanus’ evocative and lyrical coming-of-age story, The Mess We’re In, tells the story of young Dubliner Orla Quinn, who moves to London at the turn of the millennium with nothing but her CD collection, demo tape and dreams of making it as a singer-songwriter. The squalid flat in Kilburn and the relationships formed within it soon become equally messy. MacManus’ second novel is tender, hilarious and ultimately hopeful.
Join Annie in conversation with Aoife Barry.
