Orange Rhymes With Everything
by Adrian McKinty
A compelling and highly original debut novel, Orange Rhymes With Everything vividly portrays a little-examined part of Irish life. Adrian McKinty uses the parallel stories of two outsiders - a girl and a criminal with a penchant for violence - to explore the sense of alienation experienced by Protestants in Northern Ireland, a world overshadowed by religious and political tensions.
Set in the 1980s during the four days before Halloween - the end of the Celtic year - Orange Rhymes With Everything centers around a teenage girl living in Ireland and an Irish man being held in a New York City mental hospital in connection with violent acts. He seems destined to cross paths with the girl, who may be his estranged daughter.
