HANNAH KING chats to Paul Burke about her debut novel SHE AND I, her characters Keeley and Jude, class, being post troubles generation, judging others and how much is up to the reader to complete the novel
SHE AND I : Keeley and Jude are closer than blood. They share everything: clothes, secrets, drinks - and blame. So when they wake up after a New Year's party to find Keeley's boyfriend stabbed to death beside them, they agree to share one more thing: the story they'll tell the police.
But who is their story really meant to protect?
As the murder investigation begins to send uncomfortable ripples through their community, the history of the girls' claustrophobic relationship comes under scrutiny, will the girls find there's such a thing as sharing too much?
Hannah King is a writer from Co. Down, where she lives with her partner and their dogs. She and I is her first novel.
