Description
Belfast Gate by Tony Macaulay is a thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of community and conflict in Northern Ireland. In 2019, tensions still linger between Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods, with the peace walls separating them remaining a stark reminder of the past. When police refuse to open the gate at the end of Jean's street, allowing her best friend's funeral procession through to her church, she is left feeling frustrated and angry. But with the support of her friends from the cross-community pensioners' club, Jean vows to see the gate opened. As the fiftieth anniversary of the peace walls approaches, this timely novel shines a light on the ongoing issues that still resonate today. With its well-plotted narrative and insightful exploration of community relations, Belfast Gate is a compelling read that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
