Each side is carefully taught to be suspicious of the other, yet there is an unspoken affinity between the two sides as well, an affinity that does not exist between the Protestant Northern Irish and the English, or even between the Catholics in the north and south. The connections show up in indirect ways. Teen-age girls in Belfast adore the romantic novels of Joan Lingard, especially Across the Barricades ("when Catholic Kevin and Protestant Sadie...
