Review
humane, wise, funny, absolutely contemporary * Guardian * unmistakably authentic * Observer * A triumph. Maybe the finest novel written out of Ulster in twenty-five years. * Scotland on Sunday * No other novelist has proved as capable of capturing the heart of modern Belfast. * Sunday Tribune * told with grace, with warmth, and ineffable lightness by a writer in full love and knowledge of his city. -- Robert McLiam Wilson

Condition: Muy bueno. : When Drew Linden's new job brings him back to his native Belfast, he is determined to remain distant from everything that once tied him there, including his friends and family.

And that his sense of himself is forever rooted in the troubled city of his birth. A powerful novel that weaves together family history with the history of Belfast, from the birth of the city, through its industrial heyday, World War 1, World War 2 and the Troubles. The book also contains an essay by Glenn Patterson and a critical essay by Robert McLiam Wilson.
