Buchrückentext:
"At home in Derry young Joe Logan is tormented by the demands of his father, once a hero, now a weak and wasted man. At school Joe dreams away the day, waiting for better times to come. Times when the bullets cease and the nights are free from fear.
Befriended by Kathleen, a teacher at a nearby school, he finds a new companionship and understanding. Then Brendan, Joe's older brother, returns home from London with a gun and a pocketful of secrets, and the brutality and ugliness of war close in on Joe, destroying his dreams for ever."
