Delphine Rancillac
Delphine Rancillac, who lives near Nantes, has always had a passion for travel. Her four years living abroad (in the United States and Great Britain) sharpened her curiosity and open-mindedness towards other cultures. Her particular fondness for Ireland inspired her to write a family saga set in the heart of this country, using its major historical events as a central thread, interwoven with the small details of daily life. Her imagination and touches of humor will lead you down unexpected paths.

Will Sean prioritize the fight against the British or his family as the Irish War of Independence escalates? Each will have to make choices in an increasingly turbulent environment.
