CAN WE EVER ESCAPE THE PAST THAT MADE US? When Jo Devereux returns to Ireland after an absence of 20 years, the last thing she expects is to end up writing a family history. Growing up in Mucknamore in the 1970s, with her village riven by the divides of a previous time, Jo found family pride brought her nothing but heartbreak and loss.
Now, unearthing seventy-year old secrets of love and revenge in a time of war, and a killing that has haunted three generations, she begins to understand why.
In revealing astonishing truths about her mother and grandmother, Jo is brought face-to-face with her own past and her intense relationship with Rory O'Donovan, who still lives in Mucknamore.
Will a reluctant mission to exhume the past redeem Jo's future?
'After The Rising' is a sweeping, multigenerational tale set in 1920s and 1990s Ireland that explores the conflict between freedom and belonging.
