This is a debut novel from established short-story writer and poet about a 10-year-old girl who lives with her separated mother and two brothers. Set against the semi-urban backdrop of the River Liffey in 1980, the story unfolds through the narrator's observations and interactions, and her naive interpretations of adult conversations and behaviour. Heartbreaking at times, but it is also optimistic, humorous and enchanting. Praise for Ni Chonchuir's "Nude": '"Nude" is a gorgeous collection. It's sexy, intelligent, sensual, challenging and, even better, an addictive read. Highly recommended' - Jennifer Matthews, Southword. 'The stories are composed of agile narrative voices, lively dialogue and - there is a confident, suggestive power that lingers' - Katie Donovan, "Irish Times".
