I really liked this and it was enlightening on the violence that occurred in Ireland over religion. Kevin and Sadie are very memorable and their respective families. Kevin's friend who gets involved in terrorist activities is scary. A happy ending is promised and I read this without reading the prequel 'The Twelfth of July' though I bought a copy of that afterwards I read this book as a teenager and remember being enthralled by it. It is a coming of age story set in Northern Ireland during 'the troubles'. Kevin and Sadie come form different sides of the track - one a catholic and the other a protestant. They represent the eyes of the future when religion won't matter and people fall in love with whom they choose. The story tells of their struggle to be together and how much they are prepared to sacrifice to share a future. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Kevin and Sadie just want to be together, but it's not that simple. Things are bad in Belfast. Soldiers walk the streets and the city is divided. No Catholic boy and Protestant girl can go out together - not without dangerous consequences . . . The second of Joan Lingard's ground-breaking Kevin and Sadie books No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

And the bombings and threats become very personal in this book, as do the instances of young boys running around practicing shooting one another. It's very chilling, and all not so long ago. And still relevant in so many instances. While it is considered a "young adult" novel, it is geared towards the "adult" in that phrase and presents a young reader with realities that others of their age have had to confront on a daily basis.
