Debut novel
A captivating story of the people who shape us and the places we struggle to leave behind.
A funny, poignant tale of youth, envy and the dark side of friendship.
Friends since childhood, Katie, Maeve and Evelyn dream of escaping the tiny Irish town of Glenbruff. Outspoken,
unpredictable and intoxicating, Evelyn is the undisputed leader of the trio. That is, until an outsider arrives from Dublin and changes Glenbruff forever ...
Told from Katie’s witty, quirky perspective, Frances Macken’s outstanding debut takes a keen-eyed look at the delights and complexities of female friendship, the corrosive power of jealousy and guilt, and the people and places that shape us.
Filled with unforgettable characters and fizzing with the voices of rural Ireland, You Have to Make Your Own Fun Around Here is the vibrant story of three young women and their battle to leave the past behind.
'This atmospheric debut looks like a rural Irish coming-of-age novel, but it’s cleverer, darker, more unreliable'
Daily Mail
'You Have to Make Your Own Fun Around Here vividly captures life in a close-knit community, while examining the intricacies and anxieties of female friendship … Katie is a vibrant creation, whose insights are often fresh and startling … The ups-and-downs of going places is ultimately what makes the narrative come to life'
Irish Times
'Frances Macken's You Have To Make Your Own Fun Around Here charts the friendship of three small-town girls from their childhoods through to their early careers, exploring envy and self-belief with consistent, natural humour and spot-on observations.'
