Very difficult and different.

Enyoyable read.

I found it hard to put down. Well worth reading.

Everyday life in a state of siege

Quirky, original take on Ireland

I wasn't long into this Booker Prize winning book of 2018, when I realised that it was set in 1970s Northern Ireland, probably Belfast. Although nothing is... READ MORE
