Description for Remembrance Sunday
Hardcover.
From the acclaimed author of All That is Solid Melts into Air Chinatown, New York. After a chance encounter with an old friend, Simon Hanlon - an Irish architect - experiences a seizure, his first in almost thirty years. Soon, they come to him daily. As he awaits a brain operation, Simon turns his mind back to his childhood on a farm near the Irish border. At fifteen, he was present when an IRA bomb exploded at the Remembrance Sunday parade in Enniskillen. It was in the following weeks that his seizures first began. Now, he is compelled to seek out the bomber from the remnants of his past, and to ask himself the question: Why do we harm each other? Remembrance Sunday is a moving and unforgettable novel about love, empathy and the ways in which history imprints itself upon our hearts and minds. *** PRAISE FOR DARRAGH MCKEON 'A startling achievement . . .
