Things are never dull in the O’Connell family. Still, Fiona, squeezed between her quiet brother and her mischievous line-dancing twin sisters, thinks life in their tenement flat is far less interesting than Emily Brontë's. But tragedy is not confined to Victorian novels, and life for Fiona in this happy domestic setup is about to change forever. Following the devastating events of a single day, her family can never be the same. But perhaps, new relationships will develop—built on a solid foundation of love.

Book Description:
The brilliant new novel from the author of the bestselling Buddha Da
From the Back Cover:
'A tender, lyrical coming-of-age narrative, its people drawn with love in that singing Glasgow voice that is Donovan's signature.' Guardian
Things are never dull for the O'Connell family. Squeezed between her quiet older brother and the mischievous line-dancing twins, Fiona finds her escape in the books of Emily Bront. But tragedy is not confined to Victorian novels, and life for Fiona is about to change forever.
Moving, funny and ultimately heartwarming, Being Emily is a wonderful novel about one young girl trying to find her place in the world amid the turmoil that only your own family can create.
'Anne Donovan is to be cherished: funny, immediate and highly empathetic.'
Times Literary Supplement
'Told in sweetly energetic prose.'
Sunday Herald
'A sparky story . . . this is a charming coming-of-real-life novel.'
Good Housekeeping
