In an Ireland far removed from the familiar images of travel
brochures, a bright teenager is heading for trouble: son of a
single mother who has given up, rarely at school, taking drugs, and
hovering on the fringes of the city's criminal underworld. When he
falls for Pat The Baker's sister his life changes irrevocably, not
least because when she gets pregnant, Pat breaks his legs. But as
he tries to make a new start and adjust to being a lover and
father, he realises he cannot evade vengeance forever. THIS IS THE
COUNTRY is a hard-hitting, tense and deeply moving novel that sets
power and corruption against the fragile defences of love,
friendship and family. As gritty as it is tender, as funny as it is
dark, it tells a riveting tale of survival against the odds.
