This novel tells the story of two teenagers in Northern Ireland, Protestant Sadie and Catholic Kevin, highlighting their upbringing and the political-religious conflict in the country.
Kevin and Sadie just want to be together, but it's not that simple. Things are bad in Belfast. Soldiers walk the streets and the city is divided. No Catholic boy and Protestant girl can go out together - not without dangerous consequences . . . The second of Joan Lingard's ground-breaking Kevin and Sadie books
This is one of Joan Lingard's hauntingly powerful Kevin and Sadie novels which set young love against the backdrop of the Irish troubles.
There was no denying that Sadie's mother, coming to see the new baby, would make things uncomfortable. Sometimes it looked as if they never would escape from their cramped, dingy rooms and find a proper place to bring up Brendan, but Sadie and Kevin had been through a lot together already.
Continues the story of love born in the violence of Belfast. With Kevin out of a job and forced to leave the little cottage where he had settled with Sadie and the baby, the future looked bleak. Would Kevin find another job?
