Description

Let’s read together more this year with a fun and casual book club! Join Sara of Picture Book and Stephanie of Parson Brown for our monthly get together that is free and open to all. Our pick this month is Trespasses by Louise Kennedy—a forbidden romance set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. “Brilliant, beautiful, heartbreaking ... Kennedy deftly reveals how violence in a conflict zone can more accurately be described as intertwined with and inseparable from daily life ... In Trespasses, as in life, humor provides an antidote to the darkest times ... As the novel progresses, it picks up a propulsive energy, the kind that compels you to keep reading straight through to the end. A rising sense of tension throughout comes to a shocking head. I am not a crier, but by the final pages of Trespasses, I was in tears. It’s a testament to Kennedy’s talents that we come to love and care so much about her characters.” —Courtney J.
