"I Hear You" is a collection of short stories by Paul McVeigh, created for BBC Radio 4. All the stories are set in Northern Ireland, a place with a complex sociopolitical history. They explore themes such as family life, community, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth into adulthood.

The first few stories are quite tender and introspective, which fans of Sarah Winman's "Tin Man" would likely appreciate. The latter part of the book consists of interconnected stories that highlight the evolving attitudes and atmosphere in modern-day Belfast. These tales are humorous and entertaining, showcasing the author's versatility.

I thoroughly enjoyed this compilation and would love to experience it performed. I highly recommend this collection to readers. Thank you to Salt Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy; it was a delightful read.
