More about the book
For Cal, some of the choices are devastatingly simple... He can work in the abattoir that nauseates him or join the dole queue; he can brood on his past or plan a future with Marcella. Springing out of the fear and violence of Ulster, Cal is a haunting love story in a land where tenderness and innocence can only flicker briefly in the dark. Mac Laverty describes the sad, straitened, passionate lives of his characters with tremendously moving skill - Spectator
