Synopsis Dramatic and highly charged, this love story highlights the contrast between the best intentions of the heart and the realities of sectarian strife. It is the 1980s, and renewed violence sweeps across Northern Ireland as Catholics and Protestants continue to struggle for territory that has been disputed for years. A young man from a Catholic family meets a beautiful nurse from Belfast, who happens to be Protestant, and the two team up with a friend to train and race a greyhound. The dog is hailed as a harbinger of peace, but unforeseen forces intervene, working against reconciliation with dire consequences. Speaking at once of the drama of its characters and the continuing troubles of an entire land, this novel is revelatory and moving. |
