Abigail Bergstrom’s claustrophobic family drama Selfish Girls thoroughly encapsulates the lovingly caustic relationships between four sisters thrown back together in their Welsh hometown. While Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin’s novel, Ordinary Saints (was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize Discovery Award), takes a nuanced look at family dynamics, queer identity, and what happens when your brother is literally being considered for sainthood. Join this lively event about sharp, awkward, and heart-felt familial stories. Chaired by Barry Pierce.
