Description
Blinded in an attack following Ireland's independence, Rose Raven has been living quietly with her brother. However, when she discovers his involvement in anti-government propaganda, she keeps her concerns to herself, even from her lover Rudy. When her brother dies, Rose is left with the burden of a secret that could jeopardise the success of the new Irish state. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the early years of the Irish Free State, this novel explores the risks and consequences of keeping secrets in a society on the brink of change. As Rose navigates the treacherous landscape of her own past, she must confront the truth about her brother's actions and the impact it could have on their fragile new nation. The story is one of secrecy, loyalty, and the delicate balance between personal relationships and public duty, all set against the complex historical context of Ireland's transition to independence.
