The City Changes Its Face

Eimear McBride

'Day. Another. London city and world. There before me as you were. I still see you as I saw you and long to be you, as I was you, all the way over again.'

1995. London. Outside the filthy window, the city rushes by. But up in the flat, there is only Eily and Stephen, nineteen and thirty-nine. The total obsession of new love.

Eighteen months later, a rainy Camden night. Eily and Stephen retrace the course of their two-year romance now their world is merging with the common place and ties from the past are intruding. Stephen has reconnected with his long-lost teenage daughter Grace. Eily thinks about the future and their flat feels different.

The city changes its face.

Intimate, experiential, and immersive, The City Changes Its Face explores a passionate love affair tested to its limits.
