The Kevin and Sadie Books

Joan Lingard
Terrifying times in Belfast. Joan Lingard has written a series of books about a Catholic boy, Kevin and a Protestant girl, Sadie who fall in love. Her books are set at a time when fear and suspicion between Catholics and Protestants was deep and violent. So what happens when Kevin and Sadie insist on seeing eath other? Each book stands on its own or can be read as part of the series.
In reading order:
1. The twelfth day of July
2. Across the barricades
3. Into exile
4. A proper place
5. Hostages to fortune
