Cal

Cal has very few choices in life. He can continue working at the abattoir that sickens him, or join the ranks of the unemployed. He can brood on his past or try to plan a future with Marcella. Cal is a haunting love story set against the fear and violence of Ulster, where tenderness and innocence must struggle to survive.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR TA-NEHISI COATES:

A magnificent writer

—— Oprah Winfrey

Visceral, eloquent and beautifully redemptive

—— Toni Morrison on BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME

Extraordinary

—— New Yorker on BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME

A great introduction to one of the most important books ever written.

—— RTE Guide

Evolution explained, in this strikingly accessible picture book...perfect for a younger audience

—— Picture Book Blogger

Sabina Radeva's book is a wonderful introduction to Charles Darwin's ideas. It will appeal to children, but also, by its deft handling of a number of common misconceptions, may well surprise many adults. She has not shied away from either historical language or scientific ideas and handles both with great charm and without oversimplification.

—— Alison M. Pearn, Associate Director , Darwin Correspondence Project
