THE REST JUST FOLLOWS: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 04560013B66208
English Summary/英文概要： First of September 1974. Craig Robinson is starting secondary school. Instinct tells him he needs to keep his head down. The last thing he needs, therefore, is someone carrying the name St John Nimmo to be sent to sit beside him, but that is what he gets.
Across town Maxine Neill is starting her own new school, convinced that she shouldn’t be there at all. She should be where Craig and St John are. Not that she has met either of them yet. Though meet them she will, and more.
Their lives and hers - and the lives of the entire Nimmo family - become entwined as pre-teens turn to teens, turn to twenties and thirties, turn inevitably to the eff decades and they go about the business of filling the spaces vacated by the generations that went before. It’s called growing up, never mind that most of the time it feels like making it up as they go along, and sometimes like fucking up completely.
Around them meanwhile the world happens: to be specific Belfast happens, for good or occasionally very ill indeed. These are the circumstances life has contrived for them. What are they to do but deal with it?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1974年9月1日，克雷格罗宾逊开始上中学。直觉告诉他得一直低着头。他最不需要的是，戴着圣约翰尼莫名牌的人被安排坐在他的旁边，但那就是他最后得到的。
在马克辛镇的另一端妮儿也开始了她的新学习生活，事实证明了她完全不应该在那里。她应该到克雷格和圣约翰就读的学校读书。并不是说她还没有遇见他们的任何一个。虽然她以后会遇见他们，而且会有更多交集。
他们的生活，她的生活和尼莫一家的生活—交织在了一起，他们从青少年成长到少年，20岁到30岁，从不可避免的到糟糕的几十年，他们填满了人生中应该做的事情。这就叫成长，不用在意大多数时间感觉像是在他们走的时候，弥补上生活，有时候又好像挺完整的。
他们的生活跟着时间的车轮进行着：在贝尔法斯特发生的，尤其，有时是好事候，偶尔也会有真的很坏的是发生。这些情况就是生活特地让他们经历的。他们要做什么，只能面对它们？（YYW）

A sheer pleasure to read. (Sunday Business Post)
Vividly compelling. (Irish News)
The Rest Just Follows feels very real - almost painfully so at times - and never pat or cliched. These characters ring true, their situations are believable; the writing is unadorned, the tone honest and a little wistful ... A warm-hearted, well-crafted and engaging book. (Irish Independent)
