Set during the year preceding the Easter Uprising of 1916 -- Ireland's brave but fractured revolt against British rule -- At Swim, Two Boys is a tender, tragic love story and a brilliant depiction of people caught in the tide of history. Powerful and artful, and ten years in the writing, it is a masterwork from Jamie O'Neill.
Jim Mack is a naïve young scholar and the son of a foolish, aspiring shopkeeper. Doyler Doyle is the rough-diamond son -- revolutionary and blasphemous -- of Mr. Mack's old army pal. Out at the Forty Foot, that great jut of rock where gentlemen bathe in the nude, the two boys make a pact: Doyler will teach Jim to swim, and in a year, on Easter of 1916, they will swim to the distant beacon of Muglins Rock and claim that island for themselves. All the while Mr. Mack, who has grand plans for a corner shop empire, remains unaware of the depth of the boys' burgeoning friendship and of the changing landscape of a nation.

看到最後實在忍不住淚目。但全篇最打動我的其實是Jim的父親 善良謙卑在亂世中盡全力守護愛子
評分我願意用一年的壽命,交換Jim和Doyler有個好的結局。認真的,我第一次不開玩笑地恨作者絕情。從看完書到現在都完全沒法迴想書裏的任何情節,一想就覺得又要潰堤……我是敗瞭,徹徹底底地敗瞭,不要尊嚴也不要理智,成這本書的俘虜瞭。
評分pal o' my heart... Irish English is hard to understand .....
評分Hmm...Ireland and same-sex love.
