"Girl on a Bicycle" is Leland Bardwell's first novel. Published in 1977, the novel is set in 1940s Ireland, and deals with the reality of being Protestant in England, and what it means to be an individual caught up in the momentum of historical change.

It was recently announced that the novel is soon to be republished by Irish publisher, Liberties Press.

Praise for the novel

A Clockwork Orange author, Anthony Burgess, described the novel as "a period gem" while Senator David Norris sees the work as the "best Irish big house novel of the 20th century".[1]
