It is 1959. The class of 4A at Rose Horn's convent school in Dublin has discovered boys. And dating. And kissing. Rose dreams of love. And of exchanging her thick lisle stockings and bulky school uniform for the daring black chiffon numbers of Hollywood stars. When her mother discovers Rose's secret trysts with Frank Fennelly, she banishes her to spend summer in the depths of Kerry - far from temptation, she believes.But beneath the peaceful exterior of Fenit village, with its close community and simple pleasures, lurks a wild place of social undercurrents. Here Rose meets heart-throb Mikey Daw, and she is drawn into the adult world of broken promises, hidden secrets and bitter tragedy.
This is the extraordinary story of an audacious fight for souls on famine ravaged Achill Island in the nineteenth century. Religious ferment swept Ireland in the early 1800s and evangelical Protestant clergyman Edward Nangle set out to lift the destitute people of Achill out of degradation and idolatry through his Achill Mission Colony. The fury of the island elements, the devastation of famine, and Nangle’s own volatile temperament all threatened the project’s survival. In the years of the Great Famine the ugly charge of ‘souperism’, offering food and material benefits in return for religious conversion, tainted the Achill Mission’s work. John MacHale, powerful Archbishop of Tuam, spearheaded the Catholic Church’s fightback against Nangle’s Protestant colony, with the two clergymen unleashing fierce passions while spewing vitriol and polemic from pen and pulpit. Did Edward Nangle and the Achill Mission Colony save hundreds from certain death, or did they shamefully exploit a vulnerable people for religious conversion? This dramatic tale of the Achill Mission Colony exposes the fault-lines of religion, society and politics in nineteenth century Ireland, and continues to excite controversy and division to this day.
