Produktbeschreibung
The next instalment from debut author Jane Buckley's Stones Corner tetralogy has arrived! Darkness captures an era in Derry/Londonderry in the early '70s, considered the darkest years of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. It reveals the catastrophic fallout from Volume 1Turmoil's doomed Derry City Hotel meeting and its impact on the lives of so many, from the rich, vibrant James Henderson to the love-struck factory girl, Caitlin McLaughlin. The guerrilla war in Northern Ireland rages as it extends to mainland Britain and the Republic of Ireland. Charles Jones, the bigoted Belfast businessman and the revenge-seeking British Army undercover operative IOWA, continue to seek every opportunity to cause distress and misery for the Nationalist papists. Darkness takes us from the private clubs of London's West End to the dank hellhole of Armagh Women's Gaol. Hope is deemed lost and forgotten until, ultimately, the power of love, truth, and justice steps in to create a new beginning. This tale is ANOTHER brutal, hard-hitting, but scrupulously unbiased account of communities on both sides of the sectarian divide struggling to live and love against a background of chaos and carnage.
Autorenporträt
Jane Buckley was born in Derry/ Londonderry, Northern Ireland, in the late 60s and is the author of the Stones Corner Volume 1, Turmoil, Volume 2, Darkness and Volume 3 Light. All part of a tetralogy, with the next books to be Light and Hope. Aged 17, she moved to London, where she lived and worked for over twenty-five years before moving to Nice, France. Along with her husband John, they finally returned home in 2017 and lived in Donegal. Over recent years, the couple recognised that many of the people they'd been fortunate enough to meet on their travels worldwide didn't understand why or how the conflict here in the North of Ireland began and why it continued for three decades. Jane found this particularly frustrating and decided to take it upon herself to inform them and others by writing a historical fiction series based on her own childhood experiences and around events from this horrific period in Ireland's history. While we need to move on from "The Troubles" as a country, we must never forget how and why they occurred and should continue to embrace the healing and reconciliation process.
