The author often closes the chapters before something ‘interesting’, as we understand it, was going to happen; thus creating more suspense and therefore encouraging the reader to continue reading.
The real meaning of the title (and also of the last words Margaret had pronounced a while before she died) turns out to be a clever puzzle. Although mainly concentrating on action, the narrative appears to introduce the reader into the everyday reality of Northern Ireland and is definitely an entertaining read, therefore might be worthwhile for those who are interested in Belfast and, not to forget, still know how to take a joke.
