A harrowing journey through the shattered soul of Ireland during the Troubles. This short-story collection by Joseph O'Connor unmasks the paranoia and desperation of the Irish in the darkest years of their history, by analysing some sterotyped and complex pesonalities (including a punk boy going to London to find a better life, a Catholic priest and an IRA volunteer). The chacters in these short stories are "true belivers" because they embody abiding belief, but either the situations in which they are implied or a freak of destiny will break up their frail certainties, their only shelter in a hectic world... Tender and bitter at the same time, "True believers" tells stories of epic struggle for survival in a dead and God forsaken country.
