Liam O'Connor - The Sailor and the Seamstress - PB - BRAND NEW ✓ In Stock

Every family has a story … for Liam O’Connor that story goes back to his great-grandparents, William and Norry Kennedy. Using the threads of his family’s past to weave a tapestry that is at once personal yet somehow universal, this family memoir gives the reader an eye-witness perspective on the tumultuous lives of the landless, labouring class of nineteenth-century Ireland. Tales of William’s youthful adventures with the Royal navy and serving in HM Coastguard are contrasted with Norry’s early years of domestic servitude, as their lives through these years were set against the backdrop of Britain’s near-global empire and the Big Houses of local landlords, of wars abroad and social turmoil at home, before giving way post-marriage to the priority of surviving and raising a family no matter the circumstances. Beautifully crafted with fact and fiction both playing their role, The Sailor and the Seamstress is a tender tale of joy and sorrow, life and loss and a courage and strength that endures no matter what. MAY 2026 - BRAND NEW

The Ballad of Lord Edward and Citizen Small by Neil Jordan (Paperback) ✓ In Stock

Blending the drama of real events with Jordan's inimitable storytelling ability, this work spotlights a long-forgotten chapter in Ireland's history. The tale is related by Lord Edward Fitzgerald's manservant Tony Small, a runaway slave who rescued Lord Edward after the Battle of Eutaw Springs during the American War of Independence. While the details of Lord Edward's life are well-documented, very little is known of Tony Small, who, in this gripping narrative, examines the ironies of empire, captivity and freedom. Small, who knows too well the consequences of rebellion and resistance, reflects on Lord Edward's journey from being a loyal servant of the British Empire to becoming a 1798 rebellion leader.
