Overview

Set against the backdrop of Easter 2005, Jump Derry is an award-winning debut that explores first love, generational memory and the legacy of the Troubles. Janie, an Irish dancing champion, can master the stage - but not her own heart. As she struggles with the expectations of her first relationship, she becomes captivated by a freerunner who moves through the city as if there are no barriers at all. Her mother, Marianne, burdened by the violent loss of her brother decades earlier, faces her own reckoning as the anniversary approaches. Tender, bold and quietly transformative, Jump Derry is a novel about the risks we take - and the leaps we must make - to find our way forward. International Rubery Book Award Winner
