A review by jaclyncrupi
Trespasses by Louise Kennedy

3.0

Something about the voice put me off this otherwise excellent novel perfectly grounded in place and time about the Troubles. It’s that very voice that the reviewers who loved this book are lauding. But its flatness on top of the bleak subject matter wore me down. Many readers will love this book, and perhaps I was just needing something a little less depressing. It reminded me of Milkman (without the experimentation and humour) and Shuggie Bain (without the hope).
