Eimear McBride | The City Changes Its Face
Sun 27 Apr 2025 | 2:00pm – 3:00pm
A new novel from Eimear McBride is always an event, and The City Changes Its Face is no exception – an intense, lyrical exploration of love, obsession, and the passage of time.
It’s 1995 in Camden, and inside a small flat, twenty-year-old Eily and forty-year-old Stephen exist in the fevered haze of new love—bodies tangled, sheets unmade, the city rushing past their window. But eighteen months later, everything has shifted. Love has collided with reality. Stephen’s teenage daughter has returned, and Eily has made a choice that will change everything.
