Product Description
Part personal memoir and part family story, with riveting awareness of the forces which sever and link generations, Once Upon a Hill is a fascinating twentieth century Irish love story between Protestant and Catholic. It is a rich, clear-sighted book that deals with love, violence, fortitude and, finally, forgiveness.
