Havoc Shore - Maureen Cullen

Popis produktu

Spanning generations, Havoc Shore captures the voices of a shipbuilding town through its years of industry, struggle, and change. From 1954 to the present day, these 21 interwoven stories follow families bound by place, hardship, and resilience. The McLean siblings each carry their own version of a life-altering event. Isa McMenamin, mother of seven, fights for her community with an iron will. Dolly Deighan, daughter of an Italian immigrant, stakes her claim to a future she never imagined. And throughout, neighbors, friends, and rivals cross paths in moments of humor, heartbreak, and quiet defiance. Told in the Scots dialect of its people, Havoc Shore is a richly textured portrait of a community shaped by poverty, emigration, and survival. Against the backdrop of shifting politics and changing times, these are stories of love and loss, resilience and resistance - from voices that demand to be heard. Havoc Shore was long listed for The Saltire Fiction Book of the Year 2026: Scotland’s National Book Awards.
