A terrified horse trapped in rocks at the deep centre of a rushing river; a catholic farmgirl caught in a conflict not her own. British soldiers out of their depth in another people's history; a boy buffeted this way and that by loyalties of family and tribe.
Three unforgettable moments snatched from a never-ending cycle of enmity and violence, these stories capture the tragedy of Northern Ireland as no writing has done before. Beautiful and terrifying by turns, they celebrate the living spirit of the Irish people while mourning the loss of so many lives. Seared with all the bitter melancholy of a land at war with itself, these heart-rending stories are among the most important testaments yet of the human catastrophe known, euphemistically, as "The Troubles".
