Items related to Ashes In The Wind
Two boys are growing up in County Kerry, Irish Tomas Sullivan and Anglo-Irish John Burke, close friends from different tribes. This is Ireland in 1919, and their friendship will be torn apart in the War of Independence and in the Civil War that follows. The entwined fates of the Burkes and the Sullivans are played out over three generations, in Kerry, Spain, Northumberland, Mount Athos and finally back in Kerry, where the two families meet again. Subtle, gripping, beautifully written, Ashes In The Wind is rooted in the history of Christopher Bland's own Anglo-Irish family, and brings to vivid life the people and places of 20th-century Ireland in a story of love, violence and redemption.

Review:
'An ambitious and enjoyable debut' The Sunday Times. 'A compelling narrative' The Racing Post. 'A really striking first novel with a strong narrative that's actually about something' Richard Eyre. 'Captured the atmosphere of those ruined Ascendancy houses and the menacing gentleness of the Irish villages and countryside absolutely beautifully' Robert Harris. 'An epic novel. A vivid testament to the power that the traditional form still has ... It is extraordinarily gripping and moving' Melvynn Bragg, New Statesman. 'Ambitious and engaging' Mail on Sunday. 'Exciting, poignant and ultimately consoling debut novel ... fluently readable, sturdy and elegant prose of almost superhuman fairness' Spectator. [A] superbly written saga of Ireland's bloody struggle... Bland's writing is lyrical and often beautifully descriptive' The Times. 'A convincing and exciting page-turner' Irish Independent.
