Derry, Ireland, 1689. The city's inhabitants are blockaded by King James's men. The Sherrard family are among those divided on whether to risk the lives of their remaining loved ones or to beg the church leaders to surrender. Mr Sherrard starts to waver, angering his oldest son, Robert, who instigated the closing of the city gates. Meanwhile Daniel, the youngest, loves both his brother and father, and doesn't want to choose sides. Eventually the city is saved from starvation and the siege ends. The Sherrard brothers celebrate the freeing of their city. But what now for these boys, haunted by their experiences?

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
