"Uniquely, authentically and enjoyably Belfast" (Tony Macaulay, author of Paperboy.) Following the success of Snugville Street, "an enjoyable coming-of-age tale with a Belfast twist"(The Irish Times), Angeline King takes us on another journey - this time to Washington D.C. When Annie and Jean meet at an induction for Project Children, a real-life charity that brought 25,000 children to America during the period of the Troubles, Shaun assumes he is in the company of old friends. Alone with Annie at Carrickfergus Castle, he then finds himself in a precarious situation with a married woman. Letters cross the Atlantic follow, and Shaun becomes increasingly immersed in the world of Protestant Ulster. Fans of Snugville Street will enjoy meeting Annie and Shaun as much as they enjoy spending time with their old friends, Jean and Harry. There will be tears and as we follow tragic events that lead to Harry's crime, and laughter as we encounter the charm and personality of the people of Northern Ireland once again. A Belfast Tale is a soulful transatlantic tale of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances 1990s Belfast.
