In 1843 Cork Ireland, a young Dominick Tansey aids an elderly disabled man on the street and becomes the unintended accomplice in the homicide of a policeman. This sets in motion events that span two novels, The Going Away and Boys of the Bog. The first book takes us from the Great Famine in Ireland to the immigrant-thriving streets of Philadelphia.
