Louise Kennedy, Trespasses ***

Trespasses tells the story of an affair between a young Catholic barmaid and an older Protestant barrister during the "The Troubles" in Belfast. Kennedy creates a convincing sense of the time and place, of the mental calculations necessary during everyday life. The narrative is generic and predictable, following the contours of any number of tragedies involving extramarital affairs and star-crossed lovers.
