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.

Man kann Menschen nicht retten, das haben wir beide gelernt. Es sind die 1980er-Jahre, Roisin ist 15, in ihrem kleinen irischen Stadtchen gilt sie als Au enseiterin. Sie und ihre Ma leben in einem bescheidenen, nasskalten Haus still ist es geworden, seit ihr Vater sie verlassen hat. Roisin fuhlt sich zu Red hingezogen, als sie ihn zum ersten Mal trifft. Seine Cargo-Jacke, die er uber den Schulblazer gezogen hat, seine ungewohnlich formliche, sarkastische Art zu sprechen, die vielen Anspielungen auf Bucher 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 starker. Red und Roisin gehoren zu jener Auswanderungswelle in das Vereinigte Konigreich, die aus einem Irland aufbricht, das ihnen wenig zu bieten scheint. Wahrend Roisin versucht, anzukommen und sich ein eigenes Leben aufzubauen, gerat Red in den Strudel eines selbstzerstorerischen Abstiegs. Louise Kennedy erzahlt in ihrem lang erwarteten zweiten Roman eine kraftvolle Geschichte von der Unmoglichkeit, andere Menschen zu retten, und der zerstorerischen Macht unausgesprochener Wahrheiten. Mit eindringlicher Prazision und emotionaler Wucht entwirft sie das Portrat einer Frau, die zwischen zwei Landern, zwei Zeiten und ihren eigenen Damonen 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
