Before reading this novel, I didn't know anything about the Troubles, a historical period of political unrest and violence in 1960s-1990s Ireland. I feel like I learned a lot about the prejudice experienced between Catholics and Protestants. I adored Davy's character, and I honestly hated Michael, even if he seemed to love Cushla. The parts that took place in 2015 made my heart happy.
