A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

‘It performs the remarkable feat of compressing into its short span both a doomed love affair and an account of the impossibility of living, in the circumstances of that doomed province, without redemption and without punishment… MacLaverty has a true feeling for tragedy’ Anita Brookner
‘To fashion a short, telling novel out of the hideous complexities of Northern Ireland takes narrative skill of a high order. In Cal Bernard MacLaverty has managed to do it superbly’ Nina Bawden
‘ Cal is a most moving novel whose emotional impact is grounded in a complete avoidance of sentimentality… Cal will become the Passage to India of the Troubles’ New York Times Book Review
‘ Cal is a love story as affecting and tragic as you could want…as finely crafted as a short story’ USA Today

Revue de presse
