Con (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648582236)

Belfast 1843: O'Connell, the Liberator, is on the rise. The cry for repeal and independence is in the air. Sectarian violence is rampant in the streets. And in the shadows of a new industrial world, two brothers are running for their lives.

CON is a fierce collision with the brutal reality of exile and colony. It is history torn from the grip of the privileged: fierce, poetic, bristling with humour, and fired with raw hope. A book for lovers of literature, history, and stories inspired by the silenced and forgotten people of a turbulent past. CON is a poor man's voice demanding to be heard.
