Based on a true story: A haunting tale of hope born out of despair...
At the height of the Irish Famine in the 1840s, a landowner, George Henry Moore, watches helplessly as the cruel policies and wilful ignorance of English overlords result in the deaths of masses and despair for millions.
As starvation and disease sweep Ireland, a desperate George Henry sells his family possessions to buy food for his tenants until little remains at his disposal, and even the unprepossessing racehorse Coranna is on the point of being sold. There has been no salvation.
But help comes from an unexpected quarter: the peasants Frank Butler and his sister Caitlin, who bring a new hope of life to the stricken Mayo community...
Coming from a family with Irish roots, he has written and painted since his teenage years, as have his siblings. In his writing he often changes genre but is particularly interested in themes of trauma, silence and salvation. Much of his fiction has its basis in fact and he uses research and real events as the springboard for his work. He lives with his family in Cambridge where he enjoys collecting contemporary art, working with other writers and attending arts events.
