We'll be reviewing and rating 'Snowflake' by Irish author Louise Nealon on episode eight of the Leabhar Hour podcast.
The 2021 novel, which has earned Kildare native Nealon praise from Marian Keyes, John Boyne and Roddy Doyle, has been an instant bestseller in Ireland.
Synopsis:
"Eighteen-year-old Debbie White lives on a dairy farm with her mother, Maeve, and her uncle, Billy. Billy sleeps out in a caravan in the garden with a bottle of whiskey and the stars overhead for company. Maeve spends her days recording her dreams, which she believes to be prophecies.
"This world is Debbie's normal, but she is about to step into life as a student at Trinity College in Dublin. As she navigates between sophisticated new friends and the family bubble, things begin to unravel.
"A startling, honest, laugh and cry novel about growing up and leaving home, only to find that you've taken it with you, Snowflake is a novel for a generation, and for everyone who's taken those first, terrifying steps towards adulthood."
