Description
Birchwood is a poignant tale of family decline and dark secrets, told with lyrical prose. Once a grand estate, it has become a troubled home for its eccentric inhabitants.
The story follows Gabriel Godkin as he flees his troubled past to join a travelling circus in search of his long-lost twin sister. But the Irish countryside is also facing disaster, and famine and unrest are spreading across the land.
