Trespasses

By: Louise Kennedy Paperback Penguin Publishing Group/Riverhead Books 304 Pages ISBN-13: 9780593540909 A historical fiction novel set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, Louise Kennedy’s debut novel is bursting with love, loyalty and the consequences that come when those two find themselves at odds with one another. When one young woman faces the reality of loving someone she knows she shouldn’t, her life changes as she tries to deal with the fallout. With multiple plots tightly woven together and the inherent stakes of being set during the throes of the IRA, this book has so much tension it’s palpable. Good luck not reading this in one sitting.
