The Quiet Life

By Adrian Millar

'Born a widow', Kathleen, a Catholic, embarks on a relationship 'till death us do part' with George, a Protestant, in war-torn 1970s Belfast, Northern Ireland. Seventeen years later, Kathleen is standing on the edge of an abyss: her husband is in prison, her son's life is in danger and her brother has a secret that she doesn't want to hear. What's more, Kathleen has a terrible secret of her own.A novel about what people will do to avoid the truth, and the one boy who is willing to face it, The Quiet Life is a family saga full of twists and turns right up to the last page.PRAISE FOR THE QUIET LIFE:'Brilliant' Marian Keyes (The Woman Who Stole My Life, Rachel's Holiday.)'Buy this book!
