WINNER OF THE ROONEY PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 2023WINNER OF THE NERO BOOK AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION
2023WATERSTONES IRISH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 Sean is back. Back in Belfast and back into old
habits. Back on the mad all-nighters  the borrowed tenners and missing rent  the casual jobs
that always fall through. Back in these scarred streets  where the promised prosperity of
peacetime has never arrived. Back among his brothers  his ma  and all the things they never
talk about. Until one night Sean finds himself at a party - dog-tired  surrounded by jeering
strangers  his back against the wall - and he makes a big mistake. 'Staggeringly humane 
unfaltering  taut and tender... [It] feels like that rarest of things: a genuinely necessary
book' Guardian 'Every detail rings true  every character is fleshy and real and
heartbreaking... Michael Magee has a remarkable talent' Sunday TimesSHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY
