Now and in the Hour of Our Death. Running from the sectarian carnage of Northern Ireland Fiona Kavanagh has found sanctuary in the peace of Vancouver. Or so she thinks until she hears of the breakout from the Maze prison in Ulster, and that the man she loved, still loves, Davy McCutcheon is among the escapees. From secret IRA meeting in County Tyrone, to the claustrophobic world of the inmates of a maximun security prison, to the easy tranquility of Vancouver the story describes, with delicate precision and painstaking attention to detail the events that set the escape plan in motion and the fate of one small party of escapees--including Davy. The novel is a haunting prayer to the lives of those bound by the ties of patriotism and the intimate battles we fight to release our hearts from the bonds of love and loyalty. |
