Dreams of glory and battle turn to dust when one young Dubliner is faced by the harsh reality of war.

It is 1916, and Europe is at war: Jimmy Conway’s father is fighting for the British Army in France. Jimmy dreams of becoming a soldier and winning glory on the battlefield. Then rebellion breaks out in Dublin and Jimmy witnesses the taking of the General Post Office. Soon buildings are destroyed and people are killed. His uncle Mick is among the rebels. Where do Jimmy’s loyalties lie now?

In an attempt to find food for his family, Jimmy crosses the battle-scarred city, weaving through army patrols and dodging shooting. He sees strange and terrible sights. And at every corner danger threatens.

So well told! Heartbreak on both sides and so much innocence lost. Having visited Northern Ireland, as well as the Republic, and having seen the GPO and the bullet holes that remain, this story took me immediately back there. It brings to life what happened, not just with the soldiers, but with the families. They'd never seen anything like this. Absolutely heartbreaking. Absolutely worth the listen.

Heart wrenching
