Title: Ordinary Human Failings Author: Megan Nolan Narrator: Jessica Regan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 40 minutes Release date: July 13, 2023 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024. A Highly Anticipated Novel of 2023 in The Times, i-D, Esquire and the Guardian. When we look beyond the headlines, everyone has a story to tell It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the 'peasants' - ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star looks set to rise when he stumbles across a scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents loved across the neighbourhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and 'bad apples': the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way. Crushed by failure and surrounded by disappointment, there's nowhere for her to go and no chance of escape. Now, with the police closing in on a suspect and the tabloids hunting their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generations. ©2023 Megan Nolan (P)2023 Penguin Audio
