Cal de Bernard MacLaverty

Cal

Autor Bernard MacLaverty
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2026

A haunting story of love and division against the backdrop of the Troubles: an Irish modern classic.

Cal is a Catholic boy on a Protestant estate. His Ulster is a violent world in the grip of fear, where tenderness flickers only briefly in the dark. As Cal becomes guiltily entangled with local IRA activities, he also falls for Marcella, a librarian - and the widow of a Protestant his friends have killed. Cal's choices are devastatingly simple: brood on the past, or try to plan a future with the woman he loves?

'Simple humanity, eloquently caught' New York Times

'McLaverty has a true feeling for tragedy' Anita Brookner

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

When it was first published, Bernard MacLaverty's masterpiece was hailed by Michael Gorra in the New York Times Book Review as "a marvel of technical perfection...a most moving novel whose emotional impact is grounded in a complete avoidance of sentimentality...[It] will become the Passage to India of the Troubles." For Cal, a Northern Irish teenager who, against his will, is involved in the terrible war between Catholics and Protestants, some of the choices are devastatingly simple: he can work in the slaughterhouse that nauseates him or join the dole line; he can brood on his past or plan a future with the beautiful, widowed Marcella for whose grief he shares more than a little responsibility.
