Description
Cal is a haunting love story set against the backdrop of Ulster's fear and violence. Tenderness and innocence struggle to survive in this poignant tale. The novel explores Cal's limited choices and his quest for a future with Marcella, amidst the uncertainty of unemployment and the past that haunts him. Bernard MacLaverty's writing weaves together themes of love, loss, and survival in a powerful exploration of human experience. MacLaverty is also known for his other novels, including Lamb and The Anatomy School, both set in Belfast in the late 1960s.
