Bad Blood is a stark and evocative account of this journey through fear and hatred, and a report on ordinary life and the legacy of history in a bleak and desolate landscape.Tóibín describes the rituals – the marches, the funerals, the demonstrations – observed by both communities along the border, and listens to the stories which haunt both sides.With sympathy and insight Bad Blood captures the intimacy of life along one of the most contested strips of land in Western Europe.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Travel & TransportTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesAuthor: Colm TóibínRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
