Description

About this product

First released in the 1970s, and shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Shadows on Our Skin is an atmospheric coming of age story set during the Irish Troubles

An exquisite, poignant story of an Irish boyhood in the 1970s

Derry in the 1970s: teenager Joe Logan is growing up in the teeth of the Troubles, having to cope with embittered parents, a brother who's been away and come back with money and a gun in his pocket, and the constant presence of the British Army in the background.

But when Joe develops a friendship with a young school teacher, a fresh perspective is brought to his familiar world.

Shadows on our Skin was shortlisted for the 1977 Booker Prize for Fiction
