Liebeskind Berlin Firestarter

Belfast, summer 2014. Throughout the city, Protestants are lighting huge bonfires in honor of the English King William of Orange, who once defeated Catholic Ireland. The situation escalates when a video goes viral, featuring a masked firestarter calling for the city to be laid to waste. Sammy Agnew suspects that his son Mark is behind it, as he recognizes the allure of destructive violence from his own youth. He has long renounced hatred, but he feels that he will never completely escape it. Should he turn his son over to the police to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control? In desperation, he seeks advice from Dr. Jonathan Murray. However, Jonathan finds himself in a dire situation as well. He fears that his daughter could destroy lives with her voice alone. With "Firestarter," Jan Carson has crafted an extraordinary novel about Northern Ireland, both humorous and moving, unflinching yet full of magic. But it also tells a universal story about self-assertion and responsibility—in a world that once again threatens to spiral out of control.
