![]() While the kids do come together to convince Beiderman to renew their lease, the kids still do what kids do! They fight, they argue, they have fun with their friends. I was very impressed with the family and friend dynamics in this book. Banding together, the Vanderbeeker children decide to make Beiderman understand just why they can’t move… and why he doesn’t want them to. The kids are baffled- they’ve been trying so hard to be as quiet as possible! The kids decide that they can’t possible leave their home, especially after their parents say they might have to leave Harlem altogether. ![]() Right before Christmas, their landlord decides not to renew their lease with no explanation. ![]() The Vanderbeekers are a family of 7 (Dad, Mom, 4 sisters, and 1 lone brother… bless his heart) who live in a brownstone in Harlem with their various pets. I am always on the lookout for good middle grade Christmas books and this one proved to be an excellent one. And all is fair in love and war when it comes to keeping their home. So when their reclusive, curmudgeonly landlord decides not to renew their lease, the five siblings have eleven days to do whatever it takes to stay in their beloved home and convince the dreaded Beiderman just how wonderful they are. It’s practically another member of the family. The Vanderbeekers have always lived in the brownstone on 141st Street. ![]() TW/CW: Death of characters (non-main, briefly mentioned) ARC?: Yes, provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kennedy draws the boundaries tight around her star-crossed pair, their momentary freedoms found on side roads and second homes, or in flight south across the Border. Together the two give Trespasses its dark energy, its relentlessness, its tragedy and its release, the terrible declensions of northern society rewritten in the lovers’ bodies, their affair a dramatisation of all that might have been had we only the tenderness to brave it. ![]() The story revolves around the relationship between Cushla Lavery, a schoolteacher still living at home with her alcoholic mother and working part-time in the family pub, and Michael Agnew, an arts-loving barrister unbalanced by his life’s long middle stretch. It is sensual too, and tragic, taut and unsparing of the binds that once held this fractured society in place. Set on the margins of Belfast in an uncertain time late in the last century, Trespasses is a troubled fiction, intimate, observant and ironic. ![]() Trespasses begins and ends with a chance meeting before a sculpture cast from one of its characters, and the pages between are the story of a humanity that is frail flesh and bloodied bone, battered by ideology and violence. The phrase is true to a book whose meaningful forms are made from the desires of the body and not the distractions of speech. It is so much easier to say nothing than to forget, observes a character in Louise Kennedy’s first novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Getting to learn from someone like that was the greatest internship ever.
