Description

In 1922 Dublin, Annie Reilly's life is about to change with her win of a scholarship to Eccles Street Convent School. As she navigates her new surroundings, she forms an unlikely friendship with Susie O'Neill, who introduces her to Peter Scanlon, a boy from a different world. As the city teeters on the brink of civil war, Annie and Peter find themselves drawn into opposing sides of the conflict. With Peter's involvement with the rebels putting their friendship under strain, Annie must confront the difficult choices that come with loyalty and belonging. Meanwhile, the streets of Dublin erupt into violence, forcing everyone to take a side. As tensions rise, Annie's own future hangs in the balance - her scholarship, her relationships, and even her freedom. This gripping story explores the complexities of adolescence, friendship, and the challenges of growing up during times of great turmoil.
