Description

When Fionn Byrne, aged sixteen years, watched his younger sister, Saoirse, go off to America, in an effort to protect her from any further harm in the Troubles of Ireland, he'd no idea what lie ahead for them. Remaining in Belfast, Finn had a bit of tidying up to do. A young soldier with the Provisional Irish Army and hellbent on revenge for the slaughter of their parents, he would see Sersh off before exacting retribution on the Protestant paramilitary polis who orphaned them. Once done, he would join her. Start a new life in the United States, a place synonymous with freedom. Freedom of religion, freedom from colonialism.It was not to be.Captured by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), Finn would not join Saoirse in America. Would he suffer the same fate as his parents in the hands of the British?Sara Browne, an Irish-American, has lived in a Boston, Massachusetts neighbourhood since aged nine. A promising student, she graduates from a private primary school to matriculate at Boston College, where she is recruited to labour for the Belfast Project, a research programme meant to collect the oral histories of those involved in the Troubles.Victoria Rainwater Hamil is a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. standing for the grossly underrepresented Native Americans and Native Alaskans, victims of colonialism, at the Capitol. It is her life's work to see that reparations are made to the people of penury, living marginal lives, on marginalised land, in a territory that was once their own.Touching, funny, thought-provoking, and at times infuriating, What We Hold Dear is a page-turning exploration of these interwoven stories. An insightful look at the past and present, the novel provides a window into ourselves through the characters, which may divulge a bit about the future.
