After the Rising & Before the Fall: Global Book Awards Winner

After the Rising & Before the Fall (Centenary Edition) has been honoured as a Gold Medal Winner in the 2024 Global Book Awards Winner, family saga category.

Global Book Awards WinnerThis is a 2-in-1 special edition of the first two novels in my Irish Trilogy (Book 3 is in the first draft phase).

Twenty years after she was driven away from her family and the only man she ever truly loved, Jo Devereux has returned to the small Irish village where she grew up. And this time, she wants answers. What happened to her family during the Irish Civil War? Did her great-uncle’s best friend really shoot him dead? And what did this “war of the brothers” mean for mothers, sisters and daughters?

Searching through papers bequeathed by her estranged mother, Jo uncovers astonishing truths about her grandmother and great-aunt – secrets of a cold-blooded murder with consequences that ricocheted down the generations into her own life.
