Description

Spanning fifty pivotal years of the Northern Ireland Troubles, this novel weaves personal histories with national events. From the 1969 torching of Bombay Street to the 2019 commemoration of that fateful day, it offers an intimate lens on some of the most harrowing milestones of the period. Through a sombre yet insightful narrative, the novel traces one family's journey through the violence as they try to make sense of Northern Ireland's bloody history. The story confronts the past while moving uncertainly toward peace, from uneasy beginnings in 1969 to reflective memorials decades later. As the final instalment in a trilogy of poetry and prose about the Troubles, this work captures their tragic yet humorous essence with wider scope and more conclusive understanding.
