Roman irlandais

À force de traquer le scoop et de dévoiler la vie privée des gens dans les colonnes de la presse à scandale, Kitty est dans l'impasse. Sa carrière de journaliste piétine, et ses frasques lui valent une réputation désastreuse. Tout s'effondre quand elle apprend que Constance, la femme qui lui a tout appris, vit ses derniers instants. Elle se rend à son chevet et lui demande quelle histoire elle a toujours rêvé d'écrire. Mais la réponse arrive trop tard, sous la forme d'une liste de cent noms, sans aucune explication. Bien décidée à percer le mystère, Kitty tente de comprendre ce qui relie entre eux ces inconnus.

It's the summer of 1994, and all Maeve Murray wants is some money and good exam results so she can escape her shitty wee town in Northern Ireland. Over the holidays, Maeve bags herself a job at the local shirt factory with her best friends Caroline and Aoife. It's set to be the summer of their lives, but first she's got to survive a tit-for-tat paramilitary campaign as brutal as her relationship with her mam, iron 800 shirts a day to keep her job and dodge the attentions of Handy Andy Strawbridge, her slimy English boss. And when she starts to notice things aren't adding up at the factory, it seems like revealing the truth may just be her one-way ticket out of town.

But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...
