Welcome to Litsy!

As a debut this book is impressive - it‘s a slow burn story of a devastating time in recent history that many don‘t think about. It made my heart ache for the people of Ukraine who must feel like the world has abandoned them. All that being said, I didn‘t love this book. It was a bit of a drag to read. I‘m rooting for Demon Copperhead #WomansPrize23 although I still have to read Trespasses 🤓

It‘s a pick but it‘s depressing. Set in Northern Ireland during the 70‘s. A time and place where who you are and where you come from matters more then your character. An evocative and compelling story of love and kindness thwarted by violent sectarianism.
