‘An exciting and well-told story. Easter 1916 vividly described.’
The Irish Times

It is 1916 and Europe is at war.

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.

'Listeners young and old will learn about the uprising, pervasive poverty, violence on both sides, and the politics of this contentious historical event.'
