| book description |

Businessman Fenton Conville has it all sewn up, coasting through life with his mates and his money in a sleepy Northern Irish village. Until, that is, he wakes on his fiftieth birthday to an unexpected solicitorâ€™s letter and a shocking allegation that could blow his world apart. In this sharp-eyed comedy of memories, middle age and long-buried mistakes, a privileged entrepreneur feels the chill winds of post-Brexit change in a society struggling to account for its past. Ultimately,Â Injury TimeÂ is a poignant, acerbic look at a man out of sync with the world around him. Kevin Smithâ€™s prose is by turns hilarious and incisive, blending satire with a genuine exploration of aging, masculinity, and the slow erosion of certainty. This is a story about dodging bullets, literal and metaphorical, and the painful comedy of lifeâ€™s second half. In the end, Fentonâ€™s true struggle is less about money or status than finding relevance and peace as the clock runs down. 'A marvellous cast of characters ...Â Itâ€™s hard to know what more could be asked of this winning piece of work.' - Pat Carty, Irish Independent
