Set in 1970s Northern Ireland, Trespasses follows Cushla Lavery, a young Catholic school-teacher who begins an affair with an older, married Protestant barrister.
The TV adaptation of Louise Kennedy’s highly acclaimed novel of the same name has been praised for its telling of a love story set during the Troubles through a distinctly female lens.
