The Drowning of Innocence: A love story set during the Irish War of Independence and Civil War

By Pádraig O'Gorman

A Love Story Set During the Irish War of Independence and Civil War

"You are in my heart always. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you"

These sentiments, expressed on an old postcard found at a Dublin flea market in 2010, unearth for Alannah the ill-fated love story of Miche l and Eileen set during the Irish War of Independence and Civil War.

Mirroring the prophetic words of W.B. Yeats 'things fall apart', Miche l and Eileen are immersed in the events of the time, full of passion, courage, idealism and hope. Tragedy ensues and it is left to Alannah to reconcile the outcome a century later in a way that brings her intimately and surprisingly in contact with both Miche l and Eileen.

Set in County Cork, this historical novel describes the turmoil of a people in their quest for identity.
