Juno Loves Legs

Juno Loves Legs

Summary

Set in 1980s Dublin, this is the heart-breaking story of a once-in-a-lifetime friendship.

‘An ode to love, to the families we build when our own families fail us. It broke my heart’ Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain

Juno loves Legs. She always has, ever since she fought the bullies for him in their first encounter at school. Growing up on the estate is tough for them both, but as they emerge into the possibilities and underground parties of 1980s Dublin, they find a breathing space to begin their real lives.

The two of them against the world. But what if the world has other ideas?

‘A heartbreaker, and absolutely unforgettable’ Donal Ryan, author of The Queen of Dirt Island

‘One of the finest writers that Ireland has produced. Juno Loves Legs will break your heart and stitch it right back up again’ Irish Sunday Independent
