Shadows on our Skin by Jennifer Johnston

5.0

I lived in Ulster for the duration of the ‘Troubles’ and have read several books on that period. None of them conveyed the emotions and atmosphere of those times as well as Jennifer Johnston does in her small book. She really hits ‘the nail on the head’ - characters, dialogue, locational description and storyline are all excellent. She takes you by the hand and walks and trails and bundles you through working class Derry/Londonderry and does it so well.
Powerful stuff!
