1916, Dublin. Loyalties are strained and tension is rife during the Easter Rebellion and the bitter years that follow.
These are the early years of Sinn Féin; the time of dreaded, terrible deeds. Through the diverging lives of two young brothers, the agony of Ireland during this harrowing period is brought to life. The Scorching Wind is the final instalment of Walter Macken's ambitious and enthralling Irish Trilogy. 'The long tale of terror and bravery, the arrests, the burnings, the ambushes, the reprisals, is told with the deftness of a professional storyteller' - Irish PressLanguages:EnglishPublisher:Pan PublishingISBN-13:9781035065325ISBN-10:1035065320UPC:9781035065325Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Historical, World Literature, Action & AdventureBook Topic:IrelandSize:7.79 x 5.29 x 0.78 inchesWeight:0.5203Product ID:SC5FC4FRJR
Walter Macken was born in Galway in 1915. He was a writer of short stories, novels and plays. Originally an actor, principally with the Taibhdhearc in Galway, and The Abbey Theatre, he played lead roles on Broadway in M. J. Molloy's The King of Friday's Men and his own play Home Is the Hero. He also acted in films, notably in Arthur Dreifuss' adaptation of Brendan Behan's The Quare Fellow. He is perhaps best known for his trilogy of Irish historical novels Seek the Fair Land, The Silent People and The Scorching Wind. He passed away in 1967.
