From Little Stack
This gritty and powerful story set at the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland has been adapted for television. It tells the story of a young catholic school-teacher and an older Protestant barrister, two people from different sides of the troubles in Belfast that should not fall in love. But that is exactly what happens.
It is a love that must be kept secret; filled with clandestine dates and snatched moments—can it last or will they be caught in the crossfire of the war that wages around them?
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST. SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION.
Set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, a shattering novel about a young woman caught between allegiance to community and a dangerous passion.
Amid daily reports of violence, Cushla lives a quiet life with her mother in a small town near Belfast, teaching at a parochial school and moonlighting at her family's pub. There she meets Michael Agnew, a Protestant barrister who's made a name for himself defending IRA members. Against her better judgment, Cushla lets herself get drawn in by him and his sophisticated world, and an affair ignites.
Then the father of a student is savagely beaten, setting in motion a chain reaction that will threaten everything, and everyone, Cushla most wants to protect.
