Return To Killybegs

Return to Killybegs is a novel about a traitor to Belfast's Catholic community emerging from the white heat of a prolonged war during the 1970s and 1980s in Northern Ireland. This powerful work, lauded by critics, shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt and awarded the Grand Prix de Roman de l'Academie Francaise, deals with a subject that touches a nerve for most Irish people, and fascinates the world: the all-too-human circumstances of betrayal and survival during the Troubles. It is an extraordinary and affecting read.
