Zusammenfassung:"Colette Bryce's much-anticipated follow-up to Self-Portrait in the Dark is a vivid and sometimes unsettling account of growing up in Derry in the Troubles: the book is not only a riveting poetic document of the time, but a personal reckoning that sees many ghosts both raised and laid to rest. Often from the scale and intensity of a child's perspective, Bryce turns her clear and singing line to describe a home many readers will find familiar - the warmth and eccentricity of family, as well as the claustrophobia of family life. However Bryce's account is shot through with the atmosphere of suspicion and surveillance that pervaded the time, along with the real and present threat of violence. There are also poems about borders and hinterlands, emigration and return, and how the female line operates within a male-dominated tradition." Klappentext
