Series Trespasses -- series on Channel 4

[Jim Zurer]

We are halfway through this compelling love story set in the times of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.....very attractive cast and excellent writing....based on a recent highly praised novel by Louise Kennedy. Highly recommended...it will likely reach the US sometime next year.
