Shirley Gee’s beautifully tragic and poetic Never In My Lifetime is a Romeo and Juliet style love story, set in the mid-1970s amid the backdrop of the brutal conflict between the English and the Irish (The Troubles). As expected, there are no villains or martyrs in this war-torn stretch of Northern Ireland. Everyone becomes his brother’s enemy. It is a story of survival and the indomitable human spirit in Belfast, a city reminiscent of any in the world where there is violence and conflict.
