Life Sentences ✓ In Stock

Life Sentences is the sweeping and immersive story of one ordinary family in Ireland, and their extraordinary journey over three generations and more than a century of famine, war, violence and love. At sixteen Nancy leaves her small island for the mainland, the only member of her family to survive the Great Famine. Finding work in a grand house on the edge of Cork City, she feels irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener Michael Egan, sparking a love affair that soon throws her into a fight for her life. In 1920, Nancy's son Jer has lived through battles of his own as a soldier in the Great War. Now drunk in a jail cell, he struggles to piece together where he has come from, and who he wants to be. And in the early 1980s, Jer's youngest child Nellie is nearing the end of her life in a council house, moments away from her childhood home; remembering the night when she and her family stole back something that was rightfully theirs, she imagines what lies in store for those who will survive her. A taut domestic drama of epic emotional scope, and a moving portrait of life in Ireland throughout modern history, this novel goes on making the heart lurch long after the final page.

It’s July, 1969, and the O’Mahonys are caught up in the excitement of the moon landing and a world seeming to stand on a new threshold. All is as normal as it can be in an Irish family except for the arrival from London of Tamara (11) – minus her voice. She is daughter of the estranged Uncle Jack, whose English wife has just died. Boisterous Sally (12) idolises her brother, Kieran (18), a champion hurler with a passion for horses. She resents the attention paid to silent, book-loving Tamara. Kieran is Tamara’s anchor in the alien world of the Cork farm with its cast of animal characters. The trio begin to enjoy summertime roaming the idyllic river valley but tension mounts. Kieran is at loggerheads with his workaholic father, Con. His grandmother, Nana, a storyteller, reads a frightening premonition in tea leaves. His intuitive mother, Jenny, has a sense of foreboding. Like the astronauts, the family begins a voyage away from the familiar. Sally almost dies in a farm accident. The family is catapulted onto the ‘dark side of the moon’ when Kieran is seriously injured in a fall from a horse, Balthasar. He learns to walk again but shakes badly. Kieran’s refusal to deal with his condition over the winter threatens to tear the family asunder but a violent confrontation has a surprising outcome for Tamara. In April, Con buys a mooon-silver colt that Kieran names ‘Apollo’. One horse took Kieran away from the family, another sets him on the journey back. A year after the accident, the O’Mahonys are slowly healing when they are plunged into loss again through a death in the family. This crisis brings Uncle Jack back to the farm, leading in turn to the potential for reconciliation but also the loss of Tamara. Can their fragile recovery stand these extra challenges?
