Kindling Ashes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781035852246)

Spanning fifty pivotal years of the Northern Ireland Troubles, this novel weaves personal histories with national events-from the 1969 torching of Bombay Street to the 2019 commemoration of that fateful day. Through an intimate lens, the Dunmurry Train bombing, Omagh attack, and other harrowing milestones unfold.
As the final instalment in a trilogy of poetry and prose about the Troubles, this work captures their tragic yet humorous essence with wider scope and more conclusive understanding. Sombre yet insightful, the novel traces one family's journey through the violence as they try to make sense of Northern Ireland's bloody history. From the uneasy beginnings in 1969 to the reflective memorials decades later, their story confronts the past while moving uncertainly toward peace.
