Trespasses by Louise Kennedy
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POSTSHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
"Brilliant, beautiful, heartbreaking."--J.Courtney Sullivan, New York Times Book Review
"TRESPASSES vaults Kennedy into the ranks of such contemporary masters as McCann, Claire Keegan, Colin Barrett, and fellow Sligo resident, Kevin Barry." --Oprah Daily
Set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, a shattering novel about a young woman caught between allegiance to community and a dangerous passion.
Amid daily reports of violence, Cushla lives a quiet life with her mother in a small town near Belfast, teaching at a parochial school and moonlighting at her family's pub. There she meets Michael Agnew, a Protestant barrister who's made a name for himself defending IRA members. Against her better judgment, Cushla lets herself get drawn in by him and his sophisticated world, and an affair ignites. Then the father of a student is savagely beaten, setting in motion a chain reaction that will threaten everything, and everyone, Cushla most wants to protect.
Louise Kennedy began the Bailey Boat Cat blog in 2012, which continues to amass followers and fans on a weekly basis. She splits her time between a flat in Nice and her boat Nocturne, on which she, her partner and of course Bailey are planning to go full-time cruising from 2014.
