Bealtaine Book Club Meeting
De Valera Public Library at 11am
DeValera Libray Bookclub members will discuss Freedom is a Land I Cannot
See by Peter Cunningham. This is Peter's most recent novel. It immerses
the reader in the life of a family in Sutton, Co Dublin in the early 1920s in
the Irish Free State.. Blinded in an attack in the aftermath of Irish independence,
Rose Raven is living quietly with her brother Ultan. When she discovers he's
involved in anti-government propaganda, she tells no one, even her lover Rudy.
When Ultan dies, Rose is the only person who knows where the shameful truth is
hidden. Charting the dangerous first years of the Irish Free State, the novel
tells the story of Rose's secrets, every one of them a risk to the success of
the new Ireland.
