The Killing Anniversary

More about the book

THE PASSION AND TRAEDY OF DIVIDED IRELAND come vividly to life in this compelling saga of love, hate, power-and revenge. Four families - the Connors, Riordans, Averdales and O'Briens-are majestically chronicled against the historic backdrop of Ireland's bitter struggle for independence. Brilliant journalist Sean Connors, destined to leave the Dublin ghetto to build a broadcasting empire...IRA terrorist Matt Riordan, stripped of home and birthright, learning hatred in the Catholic ghettos of the north...Mark Averdale, ruthless Ulster aristocrat, consumed by hate and by his distorted sexual passions...and beautiful Kate O'Brien, orphaned at an early age and loved by two of the men-four destinies linked by the flames of politics and the human heart igniting in the tragedy that is Ireland today...bound on a collision course to The Killing Anniversary.
