An authentic coming-of-age tale of a group of friends in Belfast, 1981, set against the Troubles and especially the IRA hunger strike. I found this quite uneven as the writing doesn't always flow and the characterisation is quite thin with the girls more or less dropping out of the story (apart from Liz). Some of the 'action' scenes are rendered more vividly and the writing feels more seamless in the second half. So it's worth sticking with this despite the slow start: 3.5 stars.
