People who like writing

Has anybody read the book Cal by Bernard McLaverty? Yes? Let me guess: you feel an urgent desire to write a one-page summary of chapter 2! No? Too bad, me neither... if someone should decide to be so kind... hehe I need it wednesday night 😀

This might get you started, got it off the internet so don't plagarise it 🙂

In chapter 2 Cal goes to church where he can see Marcella, the woman he is obviously very interested in. While the people are praying, Cal thinks about his relationship to his mother during his childhood.
After the service in church on his way to Clones in the Republic or Ireland, where he wants to watch the Ulster football final, he experiences a feeling of freedom, which he doesn't know from Protestant Ulster.

During a break in the game he meets Skeffington, who asks him about his dad and Crilly.

On the following days he often goes to the library, where Marcella works with only one intention: to see her beautiful smile.

One day his father tells him that he spoke to Pascal O'Hare, a friend of his. There are a couple of dead trees on O'Hare's land which are in his way and Shamie bought them for next to nothing.

Cal's dad asks him to drive around with the van trying to sell the chunks of wood. Cal drives to Morton's farm. There he gets in contact with old Mrs. Morton who buys the chunks of wood from him on the condition that Cal is going to split them up for her. On the next day Cal does it, hoping to see Marcella. When he is paid Mrs. Morton asks him whether he's interested in having a job on the farm.

So Cal starts working there, helping to harvest the potatoes together with a lot of other people. After a couple of days the potatoes have all been dug up but he's offered to work on the farm permanently. During all these days Cal hasn't seen Marcella, but he gets to know Dunlop, the Protestant foreman on the farm.
