Summary

Danny Cronin is a ten-year-old boy from a Northern Irish Catholic family living in Birmingham, far away from The Troubles. Danny wants to be an astronaut when he grows up and writes science-fiction stories with himself as the hero. The Troubles come to Birmingham. Two bombs, planted by the IRA, explode in two pubs, murdering twenty-one people and injuring over two hundred. The next day, a Northern Irish visitor calls at the Cronin’s house. What will his arrival mean for Danny and where was the stranger on the night of the bombings?
