Burning Your Own Zusammenfassung

Burning Your Own Glenn Patterson

It is the summer of 1969 and ten-year-old Mal is finding it difficult to settle into his new home, a housing estate on the outskirts of Belfast. He befriends a brash and rebellious teenager, Francy, who revels in his own status as an outsider and has set up camp in the local dump.

But this is no ordinary summer - the civil rights marches are beginning, and the simmering sectarian tensions of the Larkview estate are set to erupt, hastening Mal's painful, shocking loss of innocence.

A critically acclaimed classic by one of today's best Irish writers.The book also contains an essay by Glenn Patterson and a critical essay by Carlo Gebler. Glenn Patterson is also the author of Fat Lad, The International and The Third Party, all published by Blackstaff Press.

Burning Your Own Bewertungen

one of the great novels about Ulster at the start of its Troubles

-- Carlo Gebler

Remarkably assured... Patterson's novel, needless to say, is neither afraid nor prejudiced, but courageously magnanimous.


A novel of visionary power that sees through a child's eyes a Belfast about to explode intp sectarian strife.


This is a very good novel and deserves your immediate attention.


a passionately engaged portrayal of a troubled boy and city
