A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Pulling on his faithful tight Levi’s was like donning armour to go to war and slipping Brendan’s watch back onto his wrist reminded Billy why he’d come to Imlil in the first place. Everything that had happened before tracking up to the little hamlet came galloping back into his head and made his heart join the race because even though time stood still up here, it was still thundering on in the outside world. Rachid had come to take Billy back down to his fast moving, adventurous and potentially dangerous life, the day had come for him to leave his refuge in the heavenly oasis and to tread the long and winding path back down to the world where injustice dwelt, a place full of untouchable barons of crime, drug dealers, terrorists and evil men who were capable of killing someone as wonderful as Brendan or poisoning Rachid’s brother, kneecapping, cutting throats and burning bodies. You don’t walk away from a place like Imlil easily and Billy had become accustomed to living outside of the time zone so leaving the comfort of this Garden of Eden was like a brutal rupture from breast feeding as he passed through the invisible rampart that protected the heavenly abode and headed out into the big bad hostile world that had so abused him before he’d taken refuge there. Reaching the end of the path at the other side of the hay field, Billy glanced back for a moment and smiled gratefully at the flat-roofed whitewashed dwellings, thankful for what the tranquil hamlet had done for him because he hadn’t felt this good since before that horrible night when Brendan was shot. The week in Imlil had strengthened and healed Billy’s body and his soul and transformed the frightened boy into a knight in shining Levi’s. A Knight in Shining Levi’s is the sequel to Through the Eyes of an Irish Lad that was Ben Allen’s first book in the Billy series. A multifaceted literary work, it continues to deliver on all fronts - from romance and humor to politics and adventure - enabling the readers to possess the young Irish lad’s slender, sexy body and to contemplate life through his remarkable big chestnut eyes.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

It has been one year since eighteen-year-old Billy’s beloved friend, Brendan, was shot in the head by IRA terrorists. Now, as Northern Ireland continues to consume itself with religious terror, Billy must try to untangle the confusion within his heart and in his homeland.

But with the reappearance of a friend from his past, suddenly Billy is thrown into the center of a quest for justice. As new details emerge about the death of Brendan, Billy’s desire for answers sees him traveling as far from home as the sweeping landscapes of Morocco. It’s in these breathtaking lands that Billy begins to understand just what it means to feel accepted.

A stunning portrait of what life was like in Northern Ireland in the late 1980s, A Knight in Shining Levi’s looks at universal themes of societal conflict through the eyes of a powerfully insightful young man. As Billy crosses through new cultures and foreign landscapes, he finds himself not only discovering secrets about a murder...but also about himself.

A follow-up to Ben Allen’s gripping and dazzling book, Through the Eyes of an Irish Lad, this book continues the riveting story of one man’s quest for acceptance and love.
