Profoundly powerful, subtle and effective, this superb debut evokes the deep-rooted mistrust... lingering in the wake of the Troubles, as well as a new, tentative flowering of hope and love.Review Quote
a compelling, engaging narrativeReview Quote
Divin skilfully maintains two attractively distinct voices [and]... sets her story with an insider's knowledge of the dynamics of Derry... meets girl on the Northern Irish b – but what if peace is harder than war?Guard Your Heart is the Carnegie shortlisted debut novel from Sue Divin.
Boy meets girl on the Northern Irish border.
Derry. Summer 2016. Aidan and Iona, now eighteen, were both born on the day of the Northern Ireland peace deal.
Aidan is Catholic, Irish, and Republican. With his ex-political prisoner father gone and his mother dead, Aidan’s hope is pinned on exam results earning him a one-way ticket out of Derry. To anywhere.
Iona, Protestant and British, has a brother and father in the police. She’s got university ambitions, a strong faith and a fervent belief that boys without one track minds are a myth.
At a post-exam party, Aidan wanders alone across the Peace Bridge and becomes the victim of a brutal sectarian attack. Iona witnessed the attack; picked up Aidan’s phone and filmed what happened, and gets in touch with him to return the phone. When the two meet, alone and on neutral territory, the differences between them seem insurmountable.
Both their fathers held guns, but safer to keep that secret for now.
Despite their differences and the secrets they have to keep from each other, there is mutual intrigue, and their friendship grows. And so what? It’s not the Troubles. But for both Iona and Aidan it seems like everything is keeping them apart , when all they want is to be together . . .
Biographical Note
Sue Divin is a Derry-based writer but, hailing originally from Armagh, can’t quite classify herself a ‘Derry Girl.’ With a Masters in Peace and Conflict stus and a ‘day job’ in Community Relations/Peace building for over fifteen years, Sue’s writing often touches on diversity and reconciliation in today’s Northern Ireland. Her debut novel, Guard Your Heart, was shortlisted for the Caledonia Novel Award, and was a Joint Winner of the Irish Novel Fair.Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
