Christmas is not a joyous occasion for everyone. Not at the Cross. Yet hope and humour remain.
Blaithnaid’s
relationship with Kieran is not good. She has allies in Nadina the
prostitute who soothes her with potatoes and Yoichi a Japanese neighbour
who offers tea but only a little sympathy. David a neighbour supplies
something approaching a festive Christmas with plum pudding and White Christmas.
There is snow, there are Christmas lights and there are friends
meeting for drinks. There is violence, there are threats and there is
heartache. How will Blaithnaid find her way through all of this?
Christmas at the Cross
– a Kings Cross story – is a novella in five parts from Bridge House
Publishing. Maeve Murphy creates a compelling text, an authentic voice
and a real sense of place.
