5.0
Surprisingly gentle book dealing with the major traumas of Northern Ireland and alcoholism. Not sure if Andrew Miller is a Quaker but the quiet, tolerant approach to life shown by the Society of Friends is reflected in the characters and their actions.
There are two levels of story - current relationships as well as the horror of a Belfast tour, both come together in a satisfying conclusion. I very much enjoyed the people, their lives and their struggles to do the right thing.

I found this a slow burner, but it was a n interesting perspective on the aftermath of the troubles.
