Synopsis
Sue Divin's Runaway Road is a riveting and moving story of family and belonging set in contemporary Northern Ireland, perfect for readers of Margaret McDonald's Glasgow Boys.
Ezra is 16. He’s no stranger to crossing the line, but this time it's really bad - and there's no going back.
His only hope of escape is to cross another line, the Northern Irish border, but that will mean leaving behind the only thing that really matters, his little sister, Evie.
Evie is 9 and sees it differently. Ezra took her into care, into safety, the last time they ran away. Why shouldn’t she go on the run with him now?

Reviews
A compelling, original story that will make you laugh, cry, and laugh til you cry.
Profoundly powerful, subtle and effective, this superb debut evokes the deep-rooted mistrust lingering in the wake of the Troubles, as well as a new, tentative flowering of hope and love.
A compelling, engaging narrative.
Truth Be Told is another unique and moving story from Sue Divin, and tells the story of Northern Ireland as warmly and insightfully as the story of her wonderful characters.
