Produktbeschreibung

Caitlin McLaughlin is just like any other teenage girl: during the week, she works at the Rocola shirt factory in Stones Corner, Creggan, where she has become secretary to her boss's dishy nephew, James. At the weekend, she likes music and trips to the city with her best friend, but this is Derry 1972. A simple trip to the shops can lead to life-changing injuries or death, and staying at home can be just as dangerous when the British Troops raid house to house.

Robert Sallis is a private with the Royal Fusiliers recently posted to the city. He's repelled by the way some of his fellow soldiers behave, wary too of civilian feelings running high against the occupying army. Accidentally separated from his patrol in Creggan, he's discovered by Caitlin hiding in her family's garden. He expects the worst, but having seen enough violence too close to home, she doesn't give him away. Instead, she prefers to daydream about her charming boss, who has made his feelings for her plain.

A Catholic girl from the Bogside and the Protestant heir to a big local employer...In her youthful innocence, Caitlin believes their love can overcome the triple obstacles of politics, class and faith. Meanwhile, Robert, newly recruited to British undercover forces, is closing in on a terrorist strike in the heart of the city centre.

Indie-Reader award-winning author Jane was born in Derry in the mid-1960s and has been asked many times when travelling the world, 'Why did the troubles in Ireland start and last for so long?'

From her own experiences, Jane writes about growing up during the Troubles, bringing with it sad, complicated and bleak memories. These books are not wrapped in ribbons and bows nor offer simple happy-ever-after endings. Instead, they delve into hard-hitting storylines, showcasing the cruel realities of the past while interspersing heartfelt moments of love, family loyalty, and black gallows humour. While initially targeting the younger generation, Jane has garnered a surprising following from both men and women who lived through the conflict, captivating readers from all backgrounds.Above all, Jane's message remains unwavering - we should never forget the terrifying realities of that era and strive to prevent a return to darkness. The Stones Corner series offers something for everyone, beckoning you into a world where a street's name holds echoes of violence yet ultimately reminds us that the Province, to this day, still treads on very thin ice.
