There she meets Michael Agnew, a Protestant barrister who's made a name for himself defending IRA members. Against her better judgment, Cushla lets herself get drawn in by him and his sophisticated world, and an affair ignites. Then the father of a student is savagely beaten, setting in motion a chain reaction that will threaten everything, and everyone, Cushla most wants to protect.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louise Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.9\" H x 5.1\" L x 0.6\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780593540909\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49536257622320,"sku":"9780593540909","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780593540909_1052ca80-4800-4933-959f-8fdfd73b9288.jpg?v=1775012820","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/trespasses-louise-kennedy-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
