Exiles

by Jacinta Bell

Overview

In this compelling novel, Claire is a young geologist working in Tunisia, while her partner sends her postcards from a damp, cold flat in London. John is Irish and the wrong religion; he is missing the way she messed up his life. She writes back, "Tunisia is warm, full of the bright colors of the desert. The smell of rain on the dry earth." But she doesn't mention Ali—she doesn't think John would understand.

Editorial Reviews

"A story of harsh economic realities in postwar Ireland and the mixed blessing of England’s reconstruction. Mac Amlaigh knows these lives and conveys them well. A historically interesting look at a time when Erin was anything but a Celtic Tiger." —Kirkus Review
