  A new edition of an acclaimed novel set in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles . In a place like our place everybody has to think the same thing, because the whole game relies on nobody stepping out of line. In the Republican Unity Park Estate the writing on the wall warns that enemies of the cause will not be tolerated. Frankie has lived on the estate her whole life and she knows its code of practice well: keep your head down and your mouth shut, and you might just survive. But lately she's been getting herself a reputation. With her Protestant boyfriend, her loud opinions on sectarian violence and the questions surrounding her absent father, she doesn't fit into the Republican mould. Shunned by her own community, and facing a hate campaign that's getting dangerously out of control, it looks like the writing is on the wall for Frankie.
