This is not simply another book on Brexit... This is an informative, well researched book on the complexities of the UK-Irish relationship, the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland and its potential constitutional consequences... it weaves together insights from the different communities in and around Northern Ireland and highlights the challenges to be addressed... A fine piece of writing that provides strong insights to a highly salient political question.
