Winner of the 2016 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize Shortlisted for Best Newcomer at the Irish Book Awards Longlisted for the 2016 International Dylan Thomas Prize The Irish Times March Book of the Month " The Glorious Heresies is a blisteringly good debut which manifests the true coming of a brilliant new energy in Irish fiction. It's a love story which captures perfectly the feeling of what it is to be young and bowled over by the beauty of another; it's the story of a city, savage and hilarious and coursing deeper and deeper, with every page into that city's dark veins. It's so much more. It's talent, undeniable and aglow." -- Belinda McKeon " The Glorious Heresies heralds the arrival of a glorious, foul-mouthed, fizzing new talent." -- The Sunday Times "A spectacular debut . . . Tough and tender, gothic and lyrical, it is a head-spinning, stomach-churning state-of-the-nation novel about a nation falling apart." -- The Telegraph "This book is a riot . . .

Ms McInerney is a writer to watch."  --The Economist "McInerney''s debut won the 2016 Baileys Prize for Women''s Fiction, and you can see why from the first page. Her lively, unexpected prose brings these characters--and the crucible of their surroundings--to life."  -- Elle "A bleak, powerful novel. . . . Darkly comic. . . . McInerney writes an energetic, profane prose laced with the vibrant idiom of Cork street life." -- The Washington Post "A smart and sharp tale of Ireland''s fringe inhabitants, The Glorious Heresies  only cements its author''s esteemed reputation as one of her nation''s most brilliant novelists." -- Refinery29 " The Glorious Heresies is a blisteringly good debut which manifests the true coming of a brilliant new energy in Irish fiction.
