A love forbidden by a country at war. A secret that will unravel a family forty years later. Northern Ireland, 1984. In a town fractured by hate, seventeen-year-old Siobhan O'Connell, the daughter of a Protestant police officer, falls for James Murphy, a Catholic boy with a secret of his own. Their meeting place is the ruins of an old church, a neutral ground in a land that allows none. Their love is an act of rebellion, sealed with a promise carved in stone. But in the escalating violence of The Troubles, promises are fragile, and their world is torn apart by a bombing, a disappearance, and a devastating choice Siobhan must make alone. London, 2024. Journalist Eileen Walsh has built a career uncovering truths, but she's never investigated her own family. When an email from a historian questions her grandmother Siobhan's past, Eileen discovers a hidden history: a secret first love, a connection to a notorious bombing, and a child given up in Liverpool. Driven to understand the silences that have shaped her family, Eileen follows a trail of faded letters and classified documents from London to Dublin. Her search leads her to a celebrated architect, a retired professor, and the heart of a mystery that reveals the unimaginable cost of the conflict. From the author A.Z. Ravenshadow, THE SILENCES BETWEEN US is a powerful and moving historical novel about the enduring strength of love, the legacy of intergenerational trauma, and the difficult, necessary work of reconciliation. It is a story for anyone who believes that even the longest-kept secrets can be brought into the light.
