From the Orange Prize-winning author of WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN comes a bold and savage story of the intersection of politics and human relationships, set in turbulent Northern Ireland.
Having abandoned Philadelphia for the life of an international nomad, Estrin Lancaster has a taste for hot spots. She now finds herself in Belfast, a city scarred by twenty years of ritualised violence.
As the former purveyor of his own bomb-disposal service, Farrell O’Phelan courts the company of destruction. Technically a Catholic, he shuns allegiance of any kind.
For these two, normal life is anathema; love is a trap. What ensues is an affair between two loners who are beset with a fear of domesticity and a hunger for devastation.

Lajonel Šrajver (rođena 1957. u Gastoniji, u Severnoj Karolini, kao Margaret En Šrajver), američka književnica i novinarka, nakon studija na Univerzitetu Kolumbija živela je u Najrobiju, Bangkoku i Belfastu. Trenutno živi u Londonu. Kada je 2003. godine objavljen roman Moramo da razgovaramo o Kevinu, Lajonel Šrajver je već imala nekoliko objavljenih romana, koji su prošli relativno nezapaženo. Sa Kevinom se iznenada našla u centru pažnje uprkos neizvesnom putu ovog dela: izdavačke kuće su ga dugo odbijale zbog osetljive teme dok ga Kaunterpoint pres nije objavio, da bi potom prvo postao popularan u feminističkim krugovima i tek naposletku našao put do šire čitalačke publike. Roman je 2005. dobio nagradu Orindž, a 2011. je i ekranizovan. Zapaženi su joj i romani Svet posle rođendana (2007), Toliko o tome (2010), Porodica Mandibl (2016) i drugi.
