Cal by Bernard MacLaverty
A young Catholic man in Northern Ireland wrestles with guilt and conflicted loyalties after his indirect role in an IRA attack that kills a Protestant policeman; drawn to the policeman’s widow, his fragile relationship with her forces him to confront the moral cost of violence, his own jealousies and impotence, and the brutal social pressures of the Troubles as he seeks some measure of redemption amid shame and fear.
