To help you decide you can read an excerpt of Jane's review below. Jane will receive her £50 Amazon voucher very soon. 

 

 
 The politics of the novel run deep, because that is precisely how deep they run in reality. But one does not need a thorough understanding of the history between Britain and Ireland - both Northern and the Republic - in order to appreciate the tale Dean tells in This Human Season. The title says it all; it is a story that speaks of humanity, and that is a universal that we can all understand. These are human stories we find in Kathleen and John, and Dean makes her characters so easy to relate to. It is a novel in no uncertain terms that has tragedy at its core, but it is not without its moments of hope, that perhaps things will not always be this way. Dean truly cements herself with this novel as one of the best writers in contemporary English literature. It is a powerful second novel, and it is quite unlike anything I have ever had both the pleasure and sadness of reading before. It is perfect.
