THE FUSE

I couldn’t have been more delighted when Louise Kennedy’s Stations dropped through my letter box. I was a huge fan of her short story collection The End of the World is a Cul de Sac and even more impressed by her debut novel, Trespasses, beautifully adapted by the BBC last year. Her second novel follows Roísín who meets Red when they’re teenagers in 1982 beginning an unlikely, unexpected friendship.
