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.


A novel of visionary power that sees through a child's eyes a Belfast about to explode intp sectarian strife.


This is a very good novel and deserves your immediate attention.


a passionately engaged portrayal of a troubled boy and city
