ABOUT THE BOOK

BELLES of BELFAST

WRITTEN BY: LUCY MCMULLAN

Get ready to dive into the pulsating heart of modern-day Belfast with Lucy McMullan's long- anticipated novel, "Belles of Belfast."

​

In this empowering and steamy tale, meet Anna - a freshly single woman navigating the tumultuous post-breakup landscape, armed with nothing but her wit and the desire to reclaim her self-worth. 

​

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Belfast, Anna takes centre stage as the creator of the audacious podcast, 'Belles of Belfast.' Turning her dating woes into a public spectacle, she fearlessly shares her romantic escapades, creating a captivating mix of humour, vulnerability, and unabashed sexuality. Think "Sex in the City" meets "Bridget Jones" with a dash of the irreverent spirit of "Derry Girls."

​

Unlike typical Northern Irish narratives, religion takes a backseat in this metropolitan tale. "Belles of Belfast" breaks free from the shackles of sectarianism, presenting a refreshing, empowering narrative that transcends traditional divides. This contemporary story aims to inspire young women to embrace their lives with confidence, devoid of shame and full of self-love.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING!

“If you're looking for your next read - you've found it. Lucy McMullan's debut novel is a beautifully crafted story of female friendship and the excitement of new romance, with a sweltering heat to rival the hottest summer's day spent in Cathedral Quarter, but it is also so much more. Belles of Belfast is a love letter to the greatest city in the world. Devoid of any focus on conflict or division, Lucy doesn't drag the reader into Belfast's past, but instead welcomes them with open arms to the present - to a city that feels like home. Her characters feel as familiar as the spots they frequent. I found myself repeatedly reminded of my own friends and their antics which made the story even more compelling. Belles of Belfast should be on everyone's radar. Lucy McMullan is truly one to watch and I can't wait to see what she does next.”

- Lauren Mac
