Reseña del editor
This Bitter Land takes up where The Last Coachman leaves off, and takes the reader to the heart of the Irish stand against British rule against the backdrop of the First World War. Michael Quinlan lies buried in a paupers grave in Carlisle, after suffering from a heart attack, and life for his family will never be the same again. James, his son has had to go into hiding after he witnessed the attempted destruction of the munitions factory in Gretna where he and his father were working. This novel charts the fortunes of several Irish families, and how their lives became embroiled in the bitter struggle to give Ireland a voice, sometimes at a terrible price. It is hoped that this is not the last book about the Quinlan family or their friends as readers will want to know what happens next in the struggle and what is in store for other members of the family.
