Kate Atkinson welcomes a first novel that's "a joy to read: fresh,
funny, and always unexpected."
It's the first summer of lust for 14-year-old Jim Finnegan, a boy
trying to become a man in 1980s Dublin. Jim's days are spent
navigating his boisterous family, taking breakneck bike rides with
his best friend, dancing to Foreigner on his boombox, and quietly
coveting the local girls from afar.
Jim's teenage dreams come true when he wins the attention of a
beautiful older girl-but he also becomes the target of a devious
religious figure in the community. When Jim and his girlfriend take
a clandestine trip by ferry to London, the dark and difficult
repercussions of their journey force Jim to look for the solution
to all his problems in some very unusual places.
THE FIELDS is an unforgettable portrait of a boy who sinks into
troubles as he grows into a man, and the loving but fractured
family that might be his downfall--or his salvation.
