Description
Academy Street by Mary Costello is a profoundly moving story that charts one woman's quest for belonging in America's greatest city. Growing up in Ireland, Tess is a shy child with a heart of fire, driven to make her home among the hustle and bustle of 1960s New York. Over four decades, Tess encounters ferocious love and calamitous loss, yet her bravery and fortitude endure. This is a restrained but sweeping tale that explores one woman's search for belonging in the midst of turmoil. With its joyous and heart-breaking moments, Academy Street establishes Mary Costello as one of Ireland's most exciting literary voices. A poignant and powerful novel that delves into the complexities of human experience, Academy Street is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves stories about women's lives and the search for belonging in new and unfamiliar worlds.
