Read about the newest award to be added to the An Post Irish Book Awards
Samhradh na bliana 1969, tugtar triúr ógánach le chéile ar thránna iarthar Chorcaí, triúr a n-athraítear a saol ó bhonn nuair a thagann an ceathrú duine ina measc, garmhac an Ghinearáil. Deich mbliana níos deireanaí a thagann deireadh leis an scéal, agus an Ginearál ar leaba a bháis. Scéal grá agus tragóid é seo a suitear i saol atá comhthreomhar, ach nach bhfuil ródhifriúil le saol ár linne féin.
Fiche le Colm Ó Ceallacháin. Arna fhoilsiú ag Leabhar Breac
***
In the summer of 1969, on the beaches of west Cork, three young people are brought together, three people whose lives are fundamentally changed when a fourth person, the grandson of the General, joins them. Ten years later, the story ends with the General on his deathbed. This is a story of love and tragedy set in a parallel world, not very different to our own.
