Summary |
“Brilliant, beautiful, heartbreaking.”χρ“«»ʹωJ.Courtney Sullivan, New York Times Book Review and#160; andldquo; TRESPASSES vaults Kennedy into the ranks of such contemporary masters as McCann, Claire Keegan, Colin Barrett, and fellow Sligo resident, Kevin Barry. andrdquo; andmdash;Oprah Daily 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. By day she teaches at a parochial school; at night she fills in at her family’s publishing There she meets Michael Agnew, a barrister who’s made a name for himself defending IRA members. Against her better judgment andndash; Michael is not only Protestant but older, and married andndash; 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. and#160; As tender as it is unflinching, Trespasses is a heart-pounding, heart-rending drama of thwarted love and irreconcilable loyalties, in a place what you come from seems to count more than what you do, or whom you cherish. |
