Frankie
Book • 2024
The novel tells the story of Frankie Howe, an elderly woman who, after a fall, begins to share her life story with her young caregiver, Damian.
Born in West Cork, Ireland, Frankie's life is marked by significant events, including being orphaned at a young age, marrying a much older clergyman, and eventually moving to New York where she becomes part of the bohemian art scene.
The story spans decades, from post-war Ireland to 1970s and 80s New York, and touches on themes such as friendship, chance encounters, and the impact of the AIDS crisis on the gay community.
The narrative is characterized by Graham Norton's trademark heart, intelligence, and compellingly written characters.
