Totally addictive and brilliant.’ James Thompson, international best-selling author, Snow Angels Boycott Colin C Murphy Boycott! He gave his name to the world. He gave Ireland her greatest weapon.Ireland, 1848, and one million people are dead. Two young brothers, Owen and Thomas Joyce, struggle to survive the horror of Ireland’s Great Famine, but the experience leaves them with radically altered and divergent personalities. Thrown together three decades later during the turbulent, often violent Irish Land War in 1880, they face a common enemy in the imperious Captain Charles Boycott, a land agent in County Mayo who ruthlessly exploits his tenants and who is backed up by the army, the police, the press and the British Government. In the course of their struggle against Boycott, one brother will choose the path of non-violence, the other that of terrorism, and Owen and Thomas are forced to confront each other – and the demons that haunt their past. 576 pages/ISBN 978-1-84717-345-4 €14.99 pb/Rights available W NEW Colin C.
