2000s: Sometimes being weird IS the most normal thing of all
Abandoned by her mother as a baby, and with a father who’s not quite equipped for the challenges of modern parenting, Biddy lives in her own little world, happy to pass her time painting by the sea and watching the birds go by. That is, until she meets Alison Flemming.
Because there are a few things about Biddy that aren’t normal, you see. And Alison isn’t afraid to point them out to the world.
All of a sudden, Biddy’s quiet life is thrown into turmoil. If only there was someone to convince her that, actually, everyone’s a little bit weird
“Ballybrack wasn’t exactly the kind of place that required high living It was more backwards in coming forward, and whey Biddy was a baby here had been no cinema, leisure complex, of big fancy shopping centre in the town”
