Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize: In the midst of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a schoolboy struggles to escape the damage storming around him Inside his home in Derry, Joe Logan's life is ruled by his tormented father; outside, by the strain and violence of the Troubles. Sometimes his father makes him run chores despite the nearby reports of gunfire. Other times his mother, frightened to be alone with her volatile and war-wounded hubby, confines Joe to the home. A excellent and sensitive son, Joe sees solace and flexibility in writing - a quest motivated by Kathleen Doherty, a professor at a nearby college whom he complies with and befriends. In Kathleen, Joe has found a pal who is aware of him, makes him have fun, and allows him to neglect his burdens for a while. But everything changes when his brother, Brendan, arrives home from London, newly energized to become listed on the raging fray, and cavalierly getting the war straight into their home.
