The Sailor in the Wardrobe (2006) The young Hugo Hamilton grew up longing to find his place in the world. In a family caught in the past, confined by his Irish father's anger, confused by his German mother's feelings after the Second World War, Hugo might have hoped that his job at the local harbour would provide respite. Though it brings friendship and adventure, it entangles him further in the conflict as he witnesses the simmering feud between two fischermen - one Catholic, one Protestant, mirroring the spiralling troubles in the North. He also waits for news of his cousin, who has mysteriously disappeared on the Irish West coast. How will he leave this life of blame behind him?
