Review
one of the great novels about Ulster at the start of its Troubles -- Carlo Gebler Remarkably assured... Patterson's novel, needless to say, is neither afraid nor prejudiced, but courageously magnanimous. * Guardian * A novel of visionary power that sees through a child's eyes a Belfast about to explode intp sectarian strife. * Sunday Tribune * This is a very good novel and deserves your immediate attention. * Books Ireland * a passionately engaged portrayal of a troubled boy and city * Observer *
