Årets debutroman enligt The British Book Awards 2023
Nominerad till Women's Prize 2023.
Nordirland, 1975. När småskolelärarinnan Cushla möter försvarsadvokaten Michael på familjens pub borde hon veta bättre än att falla för honom. Han är protestant, äldre, gift. Gradvis dras hon in i hans sofistikerade värld, samtidigt som terrorn eskalerar runt omkring dem. I skolan tvingas Cushla och eleverna dagligen hantera följderna av det sekteristiska våldet, och när Michael åtar sig att försvara några unga katoliker blir det uppenbart att omgivningen kommer att reagera. De har passerat flera gränser, i en värld där överträdelser har ett högt pris.
Louise Kennedys debutroman är en berättelse om kärlek och klass, i hjärtat av den nordirländska konflikt som kallas för ”the troubles”. Den har hyllats av en enig kritikerkår och vann också pris som årets irländska roman 2022.

**NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES – STREAMING ON CHANNEL 4**THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER (The Times), SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023'Intense, unflinchingly honest, it broke my heart a million times' MARIAN KEYES'A beautiful, devastating novel' NICK HORNBYOne by one, she undid each event, each decision, each choice. If Davy had remembered to put on a coat.If Seamie McGeown had not found himself alone on a dark street.If Michael Agnew had not walked through the door of the pub on a quiet night in February in his white shirt.There is nothing special about the day Cushla meets Michael, a married man from Belfast, in the pub owned by her family. But here, love is never far from violence, and this encounter will change both of their lives forever.As people get up each morning and go to work, school, church or the pub, the daily news rolls in of another car bomb exploded, another man beaten, killed or left for dead. In the class Cushla teaches, the vocabulary of seven-year-old children now includes phrases like ‘petrol bomb’ and ‘rubber bullets’. And as she is forced to tread lines she never thought she would cross, tensions in the town are escalating, threatening to destroy all she is working to hold together.Tender and shocking, Trespasses is an unforgettable debut of people trying to live ordinary lives in extraordinary times.______________* WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS BOOK OF THE YEAR: DEBUT FICTION ** WINNER OF THE AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARDS NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2022 ** WINNER OF THE MCKITTERICK PRIZE 2023 ** SHORTLISTED FOR THE WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE 2022 ** AN OBSERVER BEST DEBUT NOVELIST OF 2022 ** A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK AT BEDTIME ** THE CRITICS' MOST-PICKED BOOK OF THE YEAR*

»Man kann Menschen nicht retten, das haben wir beide gelernt.«Es sind die 1980er-Jahre, Róisín ist 15, in ihrem kleinen irischen Städtchen gilt sie als Außenseiterin. Sie und ihre Ma leben in einem bescheidenen, nasskalten Haus – still ist es geworden, seit ihr Vater sie verlassen hat. Róisín fühlt sich zu Red hingezogen, als sie ihn zum ersten Mal trifft. Seine Cargo-Jacke, die er über den Schulblazer gezogen hat, seine ungewöhnlich förmliche, sarkastische Art zu sprechen, die vielen Anspielungen auf Bücher und Musik. Er ist anders auf die Weise, wie sie selbst auch anders ist. Als ihre Bindung tiefer wird, verflechten sich ihre beiden Leben immer stärker. Red und Róisín gehören zu jener Auswanderungswelle in das Vereinigte Königreich, die aus einem Irland aufbricht, das ihnen wenig zu bieten scheint. Während Róisín versucht, anzukommen und sich ein eigenes Leben aufzubauen, gerät Red in den Strudel eines selbstzerstörerischen Abstiegs. Louise Kennedy erzählt in ihrem lang erwarteten zweiten Roman eine kraftvolle Geschichte von der Unmöglichkeit, andere Menschen zu retten, und der zerstörerischen Macht unausgesprochener Wahrheiten. Mit eindringlicher Präzision und emotionaler Wucht entwirft sie das Porträt einer Frau, die zwischen zwei Ländern, zwei Zeiten und ihren eigenen Dämonen gefangen ist – und die verstehen muss, dass manche Verluste nie zu verwinden sind.

Sydäntäsärkevä rakkaustarina Pohjois-Irlannin levottomuuksien keskellä.On vuosi 1975. Belfastiin sijoittuvassa romaanissa nuori idealistinen nainen, Cushla, tasapainoilee kireässä ilmapiirissä opettajana katolisessa alakoulussa, joka sijaitsee lähellä protestanttien asuinaluetta. Tuuratessaan perheensä omistamassa pubissa hän tutustuu Michaeliin, vanhempaan, naimisissa olevaan englantilaiseen lakimieheen. He rakastuvat ja ajautuvat raastavaan romanssiin, joka muuttaa molempien elämän ikuisesti. Rakkaustarinaa säestää painostava poliittinen ilmapiiri, joka purkautuu vähän väliä väkivaltaisuuksiksi aivan tavallisten ihmisten arjessa.Hellä ja traaginen, hyvällä tavalla perinteinen rakkaustarina on paitsi mieleenpainuva poliittinen romaani, myös yllättävä myyntimenestys, joka oli ehdolla muun muassa Women's Prize for Fiction -palkinnon saajaksi 2023.”Kuin Sally Rooney yhdistettynä poliittiseen trilleriin.” - Russell Kane”Intensiivinen, epäröimättömän rehellinen, särki sydämeni miljoona kertaa.” - Marian Keyes”Rakastin sitä.” - Max Porter”Kaunis, musertava romaani.” - Nick Hornby
