FACTORY GIRLS BY MICHELLE GALLEN

Already missing Derry Girls? Michelle Gallen’s hilariously heartfelt Factory Girls introduces another irrepressible Nordie. Maeve Murray is dying to escape small town life in Northern Ireland and is already planning her escape to London while ironing 800 shirts a day during

her summer job at the local factory. As marching season rolls around, and with tensions already bubbling over, Maeve notices something at the factory that will change her life forever.

Factory Girls (Hachette, €15.99) hits the shelves in June.
