Review
Eoin McNamee's first novel, Resurrection Man, based on a true story, grippingly evoked the brutal sadism of the troubles in his native Northern Ireland. The two novellas of his new volume, each dealing with love across a mighty divide, are set in a small coastal town outside Belfast. In the first, "The Last of Deeds," a middle-class Protestant girl falls for a boy from a working class Catholic ghetto, a sectarian division more potent than that between the Montagues and the Capulets. In the second, "Love in History," which takes place during World War II, an American airman from a nearby base carries on a liaison with a local beauty. McNamee's atmospheric writing propels both stories toward inevitable tragedy.
