Best books of 2020

Quote:
Bright, earthy and funny, Majella works in a chip shop in a Northern Ireland border town, copes with her alcoholic ma and watches “Dallas” DVDs to relax. She’s also on the autism spectrum, constantly analyzing the people around her to know how to respond. The star of Gallen’s novel is my most unforgettable fictional character of 2020.
