Product Description
November 1979, the height of Northern Ireland' s Troubles. Kathleen Moran' s son Sean has just been transferred to the hypersecure H-block in Belfast' s notorious Maze prison, where he soon emerges as a young but important force in the extreme protest that political prisoners are staging there. John Dunn is also newly arrived at the prison, having taken on the job of guard-- a brutal but effective way to support a house and a girlfriend. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, no one' s dreams go untroubled. As rumors of a hunger strike begin to circulate, Louise Dean' s pitch-perfect novel places two parents, two sons, and two enemies on a collision course that ends in a surprising and deeply resonant climax.
