Green Eyes

by Andrew O'Hare

Shaun McKenna and Harry Hannah are teenage boys in Northern Ireland who fall passionately in love after theior paths cross unexpectedly. The problem is that Shaun, the narrator of their story is Catholic, while his beloved Harry, whom he nicknames Greeneyes, is Protestant. This novel splendidly captures the sexual and emotional nuances of young lovers as well as the horrors of senseless sectarian violence. A gay Romeo and Juliet' for the 21st Century.
