Winner of the Gordon Burn Prize 2019, shortlisted for the Encore Award 2020, comes the gripping novel by the author of This Is Memorial Device. Prepare to be transported on a heart-pounding thrill ride.
Independent: An exhilarating novel that burns with rage, danger, and dark humor. Literary Review: Remarkable. Demented brilliance. Scotland on Sunday: In the impoverished area of Belfast in the 1970s, Sammy and his three friends live amidst a country that seems determined to tear itself apart. They cherish their sharp clothes, enjoy a good drink, and find solace in the songs of Perry Como, whose commitment to clean living serves as a dissonant mirror to their own struggles to rise above their circumstances. Their dreams of a Free State are unwavering, and they are willing to take uncompromising measures to achieve it.
However, For the Good Times is not just a novel about the IRA. It delves into the heartache and devastation that comes with unwavering commitment to the cause. It explores the realm of violence and betrayal, breakdown, and rebirth. Through the lives of Sammy and his friends, the reader witnesses the consequences of their actions and the sacrifices they are willing to make for their beliefs.
This is a powerful and thought-provoking book that will leave you reflecting on the complexities of loyalty, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a better future. Don't miss this exceptional literary masterpiece.
