   Apr 14, 2022 · Trespasses is set during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and it does not budge an inch when it comes to its depiction of life during that time. There is the fear, the violence, the animosity, but there is also the way in which those things have become not ordinary, exactly, but subsumed into the everyday.

   Is trespasses a good read?

   • As a story of a woman navigating multiple battlefields, Trespasses is an entertaining read. It’s largely told as a series of vignettes, with the affair underpinning the narrative. But because I knew exactly where that narrative was headed, some of the vignettes felt like filler.

   How did trespasses start?

   • Thank you! Trespasses began with a visit to the ‘Art of the Troubles’ exhibition in the Ulster Museum. It made me think about the ways in which art can say the unsayable in a place where language is so contentious. A couple of years later, the Sligo-based sculptor Bettina Seitz made ‘ghosts’ to commemorate the centenary of 1916.

   How does Davy describe Cushla in 'trespasses'?

   • “Trespasses” is full of wise observations about social class, the way it exists along a spectrum, so that Davy can describe Cushla’s house as a mansion compared to his own, and Cushla feels uncultured and less than in the midst of Michael’s sophisticated friends, whose refinement is best exemplified by descriptions of the food they eat.
