Turner Publishing to Release Groundbreaking Debut Novel by Sarah Carlson

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sarah Carlson will publish compelling new novel All the Walls of Belfast next month.

The Carnival at Bray meets West Side Story in this powerful YA debut set in post-conflict Belfast, alternating between two teenagers, both trying to understand their past and preserve their future. Seventeen-year-olds, Fiona and Danny must choose between their dreams and the people they aspire to be. Danny and Fiona must help one another overcome the burden of their parents' pasts. But one ugly truth might shatter what they have.

Carlson's book focuses on the history of religious conflict in Northern Ireland by providing a raw look into what it is like to live in a country divided by cultural and religious differences. The Irish dialect and historical context will give readers a uniquely immersive experience that will leave readers waiting with bated-breath for Carlson's next book. Available for purchase at AlltheWallsofBelfast.com.

All the Walls of Belfast will be published on March 12, 2019.
