A story of adolescence set in Northern Ireland.
A teenage girl, characterised by her innocence, navigates the complexities of her existence: friendships, family dynamics, school life, employment, and the introduction of romance. The hurdles she faces encompass the religious divide, her parents' separation, and the emotional abuse she experiences from her first boyfriend. Throughout the narrative, each chapter holds a connection to a wall situated in Glengormley. This wall serves as a pivotal point from which various experiences and musings spring forth. The story interlaces themes of yearning, loss, anger, frustration, aspirations, companionship, family, and love. Commencing as a 15-year-old student, the main character grapples with the challenges of family life. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery after securing a job, uncovering her true desires in life. Throughout the book, numerous first-time experiences unfold: the introduction of her first boyfriend, entering the workforce, embarking on travels, seeking adventure, and gaining insights into her own identity. While the central focus remains on the main character, the narrative also branches out to explore the stories of friends and family members, offering a glimpse into life in 1990s Belfast. These stories interweave with recollections of local businesses, products, landmarks, and individuals, creating a tapestry of Northern Irish life that will engage readers with an interest in the region.Also from
