A passionate, heartbreaking story of authority and revenge, alcoholism and futile redemption set in South Boston in the late 1990s. Told in short, tight, intertwined chapters, Broken Irish gives voice to the voiceless, portraying the shattered hopes of a disintegrating neighbourhood dominated by dependence on alcohol, revenge and the ghostly presence of a secretive, hypocritical church. Exploring pertinent issues of abuse within the Catholic church, it will appeal to a wide audience, while its graceful, spellbinding style will not go unnoticed in literary circles.
