book: Whose life is it anyway?

I just finished this irish book by Sinéad Moriarty, "Whose life is it anyway?" and it's beautiful. it's about how an Irish girl with close-minded parents falls in love witha black guy. As I'm a foraign living in Ireland I can see and tell the inconcious racism that exists in this country. anyways, I wouldn't say "racism", i would just say "ignorance". it was my first time reading an Irish book - I think - and I'm actually surprised, in a good way. It such a good book that got me since the very first moment, and I just couldn't stop reading it. I thought it was going to be cheesy and dramatic but it wasn't at all.
