Big girl, small town : a novel / Michelle Gallen. First edition. Chapel Hill, North Carolina : Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2020. 311 pages ; 21 cm. "Majella is happiest out of the spotlight, living a quiet life away from neighbors' stares and the gossips of the small town in Northern Ireland where she grew up during the Troubles. But underneath her seemingly predictable existence, she doesn't know where her father is, and every person in her town has been changed by the lingering divide between Protestants and Catholics. When Majella's grandmother dies, she comes to realize there may be more to life than the gossips of Aghybogey, the pub, and the chip shop. In fact, there just may be a whole big world outside her small town"-- Provided by publisher. 20201230. Autism Fiction. Mothers and daughters Fiction. Alcoholics Fiction. Murder Fiction.
