Belfast, 1970s
Sammy and his three friends live in an impoverished area of the city that has become the epicentre of a country seemingly intent on cannibalising itself. They love sharp clothes, a good drink and the songs of Perry Como, whose commitment to clean living holds up a dissonant mirror to their own attempts to rise above their circumstances.
They dream of a Free State, and their methods for achieving this are uncompromising. But For The Good Times is not just a novel about the IRA. It is about the heartbreak and devastation that commitment to 'the cause' can bring - violence, betrayal, breakdown and rebirth.
