Description
Remembrance Sunday is a poignant and powerful novel about love, empathy and the impact of history on our lives. When an old friend appears in his life, Simon Hanlon, an Irish architect, is compelled to confront the traumatic event from his past that has haunted him for decades.
The story unfolds as Simon waits for a brain operation, his mind turning back to his childhood on a farm near the Irish border. The IRA bomb explosion at the Remembrance Sunday parade in Enniskillen, where he was just 15, sets off a chain of events that forces him to seek out the bomber and confront the question: why do we harm one another?
This moving novel is a deeply felt exploration of the human cost of violence and the power of love and empathy to heal. With skill and empathy, Darragh McKeon brings to life a story that is both personal and political, a timely evocation of the havoc the Troubles wreaked on individuals and communities.
