This collection of short stories focuses on the lives of ordinary working-class people from Northern Ireland. It is set against the backdrop of the 'Troubles' and the province's more recent history. Strong female characters often carry the narrative, and the story which gives its title to the collection is that of a Catholic woman from the South who marries a staunch Northern Protestant, and they settle in Belfast. The strife which ensues reflects the divided communities which the rest of the book can testify to. In their depiction of everyday violence and intimidation, the stories bring to light more latent themes of homosexuality, sexism, and prejudice. A strong focus on family bonds means that the collection provokes a profound resonance with a large number of us who have grown up in tight family circles. In many ways, the 'Troubles' serve to underline the tensions inherent in these bonds.
