Questa recensione è su: Belfast Girls (Brossura)
A modern day Belfast chronicle of three girls growing up in the reality of contemporary Northern Ireland - with visits to Dublin and New York thrown in. You've got almost everything here: love and rejection, friendship and lust, the 'safe' world of fashion and glamour contrasting with the harsh world of crime and danger, fame and disgrace, despair and hope ...Sheila's life takes off. She's got it all! But her 'ice maiden' success is hollow and empty. On the surface she's living a dream, but she's not enjoying the reality. Phil takes a more obvious route, but things get more and more complicated - leading to disaster. Mary quickly becomes a train wreck - but amazingly she manages to survive and turn her life around. The men are a contrast, too. Davy is light-hearted and takes what he wants from life, has few scruples and no worries about consequences; while John is serious, ambitious, self-righteous and confused. It's difficult to decide which is worse - the straight forward, self-centred, all-out bad guy, or the well meaning, but moody and tormented, 'good' guy? And the other men in Sheila's life all have their own quirks and agendas. This novel definitely holds your attention - even on a second reading! It is well written and you want to keep on reading and finding out more about these people. The characters are very real and natural and the story builds steadily towards the final outcome. You've managed to capture something that is believable and authentic. Well done! Hope it goes from strength to strength!
