Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Devastating, tough and tender, a portrait of modern masculinity as shaped by violence and poverty but also by the courage to love and to surviveAnthony grew up brawling with the headcases round the estate, torching stolen cars, beaking school. His little brother Sean was supposed to be different. He was supposed to leave and never come back.But Sean does come back. Finished with university, he finds Anthony's drinking spiralling out of control as the dark shadow of his childhood catches up on him. Meanwhile the jobs in Belfast have vanished and no one will give Sean the time of day. One night he loses it and assaults a stranger at a party, and everything is tipped into chaos.Close to Home witnesses the aftermath of this mistake, as Sean attempts to make sense of who he has become, and to find a way through the rubble. And it maps, with great compassion, the forces which keep young working class men in harm's way, the silences that exist in the gaps between what is sayable, and the formidable courage required to survive.

Back in Belfast and back into old habits. Back on the mad all-nighters, the borrowed tenners and missing rent, the casual jobs that always fall through. Back in these scarred streets, where the promised prosperity of peacetime has never arrived. Back among his brothers, his ma, and all the things they never talk about. Until one night Sean finds himself at a party - dog-tired, surrounded by jeering strangers, his back against the wall - and he makes a big mistake. 'Staggeringly humane, unfaltering, taut and tender. [It] feels like that rarest of things: a genuinely necessary book' Guardian'Every detail rings true, every character is fleshy and real and heartbreaking. Michael Magee has a remarkable talent' Sunday Times. Seller Inventory # 9780241582978
