First Edition, Softcover. New. 9781842703403 224 pages. Available Now. Book Description: Zee (short for Zara) lives in a quiet suburb of Belfast, with an apparently idyllic family life. But Zee's father was shot dead in front of them all, and the whole family is still struggling with the extent of grief and pain that this has caused. Her brother Gary has become a rabid anti-Catholic, and a fervent Orange-man. And Zee? She's trying desperately to continue a normal life. Unfortunately as a teenager, this means finding boyfriends, and she is irresistibly drawn to local boy Conor, who's from the token Catholic family. Gary will kill him if he realises, and even the adults will separate them by all means if they are discovered. As Zee and Conor keep up a double life, and argue over the need to do so in what is, after all, their own hometown, the jealousies and petty hatreds of those around them come to a head. Conor is beaten up - but Zee pays for her 'disloyalty' by having her face slashed unmercifully and losing her looks forever. : Book Description: A fast-paced and compelling teenage love story spanning the Protestant/Catholic divide in Northern Ireland. : From the Back Cover: Peace has broken out in Belfast, and with the arrival of a new neighbour, Tasha, from England, it seems to fifteen-year-old Zee that life can be fun again. But things turn dangerous when Tasha is attracted to Gary, Zee's brother, the very person Zee must keep secrets from. Because she is falling for a lad from 'the other side' and she knows that Gary's bitterness would destroy everything. With local jealousies and petty hatreds bubbling up around her, she wonders if the past can ever be truly left behind. And as events spiral out of control she finds that her right to choose a boyfriend comes at a terrible cost. Size: 12.7 x 2 x 20.3 cm. 224 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
