Michelle Gallen’s uproarious and poignant new novel set in 1990’s Northern Ireland, abridged for ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.

Maeve Murray is an outspoken teenager who begins a fateful summer job with her friends, undaunted by her pervy boss and thundering co-workers. But with its divided community and raw recent history, she has big aspirations to escape the wee border town she has called home for 18 years.

In this opening episode, Maeve meets β€œHandy” Andy Strawbridge, who she will soon be working under.
