Louise Kennedy
Róisín and Red meet as teenagers in their small Irish hometown in 1982. Brilliant, sharp-tongued and born to slip through the cracks, Red’s reputation for trouble precedes him – but Róisín finds herself swept up in his storm, and soon their connection deepens.
When a brush with the law pushes Red into a corner, he escapes their town to start a new life in England. As the years pass, they remain tethered to one another, a fragile thread holding their once fierce friendship together. When Róisín arrives in London, the promise of freedom, of reinvention, and of finding her dear friend calls.
But searching for Red leads Róisín to a truth darker than she could have imagined: when you go looking for someone you may uncover parts of yourself along the way that you’d rather stayed buried. And Red – bright, beautiful Red – might not want to be found at all.
Stations is a devastating story of love and friendship, and a tender portrait of the choices we blithely make when we are young, unaware that the consequences will reverberate throughout our lives.

Kritikerstimmen
Louise Kennedy’s brilliant Stations is a moving and immersive novel about first love, addiction, and regret. Smart, propulsive, and emotionally powerful, this narrative is a transcendent exploration of yearning, transformation and rescue.
What a beautiful book ... Róisín’s quest for the love of a man who can never reciprocate her own obsessive passion is an odyssey of its own. Stations will live in my head for a long time to come.
This is the story of a profound, ambiguous love, spanning decades, between two wounded emigrants adrift in London. Place and feeling are uncannily tangible. It's funny, perceptive, carnal, laced with startling sentences and tremendously absorbing and revealing. Any time I was away from it I missed it.
Stations takes hold from the first page, it’s all raw and it’s all true. You’re pitched straight into the story, heart-first. Only later does the social history in the novel occur to you: in vivid scenes Stations reconstructs a time when work on an English building site was the expectation of thousands of young Irish men. It would’ve been my expectation too, probably, had I been born ten years earlier. I don’t think there has ever been a better examination of Ireland’s relationship to London; a place to where the Irish were often pulled by their ambition, or pushed by their regrets
A deeply moving portrait of love's many faces, Stations is at once vivid and panoramic, an elegiac and clear-eyed exploration of intimacy in all its life-saving power and devastating limitations
I gulped this down - convinced, fascinated, and moved by every page
Louise Kennedy can make your heart ache like few others – her magic lies in creating characters who are warm, living, breathing, utterly real. The story of Róisín and Red, the star-crossed couple at the centre of Stations, and the novel’s wider generational sadnesses of displacement and loss, left me profoundly moved
Stations is a beautiful novel about loss and being lost; at its centre is a brilliantly drawn collection of found family, memorable people with their own ornately-carved crosses to bear. But it’s also about another lost Irish generation, driven away by the politics and poverty that has blighted their island for so much of its history.
Louise Kennedy's writing is full of life and the kind of observations that are all too confronting. Stations is funny and moving and unexpected.
