Join us in the Maine Irish Heritage Center library on Thursday, May 16th, at 7:30pm as we discuss "Wounds: A Memoir of War and Love" by Fergal Keane. Please RSVP at https://maineirish.com/event/maine-irish-reads-14/ After nearly three decades reporting conflict from all over the world for the BBC, Fergal Keane has gone home to Ireland to tell a story that lies at the root of his fascination with war. It is a family story of war and love, and how the ghosts of the past return to shape the present.
Wounds is a powerful memoir about Irish people who found themselves caught up in the revolution that followed the 1916 Rising, and in the pitiless violence of civil war in north Kerry after the British left in 1922.
Preorder "Wounds: A Memoir of War and Love." As a non-profit, the Maine Irish Heritage Center receives donations from all books purchased. Thank you for buying with us!
