Into Exile

Summary

The third of Joan Lingard's ground-breaking Kevin and Sadie books, after The Twelfth of July and Across the Barricades.

Protestant Sadie and Catholic Kevin have married and "escaped" to London - but will they ever really be free of Belfast and its troubles? In this third book about Sadie and Kevin, Joan Lingard has added an understanding of the strains of young marriage to the sombre representation of life in Belfast.
