«With My Lazy Eye» is Julia Kelly's novel, published by Quercus in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Lucy grows up in a large Dublin family feeling like an outsider and dreaming of being someone else who would make her father, a renowned academic, proud. Her lazy eye marks her and serves as an excuse not to try: she fails exams, flops at a good job in London, and goes through relationships without real affection. When her eyesight worsens and a family crisis forces her to grow up, Lucy realises that only by taking control of her life can she change her fate.
It is the first novel by Irish author Julia Kelly. The work was awarded the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Award in the Best Irish Newcomer of the Year category (2008).
For readers of contemporary fiction and coming-of-age novels with a female protagonist and a bittersweet tone.
