More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Irish independence movement, the narrative explores the intertwined lives of four young individuals—Henry and Grace from England, and Kathleen and Sean from Ireland. As they face the challenges of World War One and the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, they are influenced by Kathleen's Quaker father and Bridgit, a mentor steeped in the Celtic tradition of Anamcara, or soul friendship. Their journey reflects themes of friendship, identity, and the quest for freedom amidst turmoil.
