A good choice for book club, lots to chew over! Paints a vivid picture of life in 70s Northern Ireland, and the compromises and challenges facing those trying to cross community divides, whether through marriage, business, or illicit love affair. I felt things were tied up a bit too neatly/coincidentally towards the end, and struggled to quite understand the reasons for/ speed with which the protagonist fell for her love interest, but it was an engaging read.
