You are in my heart always. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you
These sentiments, expressed on an old postcard found at a Dublin flea market in 2010, unearth for Alannah the ill-fated love story of Micheál and Eileen set during the Irish War of Independence and Civil War.
Mirroring the prophetic words of W.B. Yeats 'things fall apart', Micheál and Eileen are immersed in the events of the time, full of passion, courage, idealism and hope. Tragedy ensues and it is left to Alannah to reconcile the outcome a century later in a way that brings her intimately and surprisingly in contact with both Micheál and Eileen.
Set in County Cork, this historical novel describes the turmoil of a people in their quest for identity.
