Mary Costello reads from Barcelona in Kennys Bookshop, March 2024

Mary Costello's new collection Barcelona contains nine short stories which reveal the sometimes brutal nature of humanity. Whether on city streets, long car journeys or in suburban rooms, we glimpse characters as they approach those moments of desperation that can change or reshape fate.

Tom Kenny loved and recommends this book and praised the fabulous writing in it. Mary is also the award winning author of another collection of short stories, The China Factory and of novels Academy Street and The River Capture.
