Men Who March Away

More about the book

More than sixty years have passed since young Maeve Muldoon eloped from Ireland with her father's groom, Kieran McGrath, to start a new life in the Scottish mining village of Sholton. Their children and grandchildren have spread far and wide and the business they founded, the McGrath Carting Company, is now an international concern. Maeve's death in 1914 spells the end of an era and leaves a huge gap in the ranks of the McGrath clan. But sisters Kate, Isobel and Maevy are the new unifying force in this remarkable family. As the shadow of conflict reaches across the Channel, the lives of the younger generation are changed for ever in the crucible of war - as love, duty and sacrifice wach make a claim on their hearts.
