Disaster soon becomes inevitable, but no matter how close Cushla’s life comes to collapse, Kennedy’s unyielding narrative voice exhibits heart-wrenching impassivity, forcing readers to grapple with their own prejudices and morals. There’s also Davy McGeown, a child in Cushla’s class whose father is brutally beaten. There’s Michael Agnew, an older, married Protestant barrister with whom Cushla begins a surreptitious affair. Quicker than she can make sense of, Cushla forms new relationships that drive her personal life into the public eye.
