Married Quarters

Set in a small Irish village in the late 1950s, Married Quarters follows the story of a nervous sergeant and his misfit team of garda. With Chief Superintendent Barry on the prowl, the sergeant struggles to keep his team in line. Meanwhile, his son watches from the sidelines, fascinated by the rough-and-ready men his father commands. A deeply personal and beautifully observed novel by acclaimed writer Shane Connaughton, Married Quarters offers a humorous and poignant glimpse into the lives of those stationed at the Irish border.
