Get Ready To Explore Guilt, Forgiveness, and Healing in Northern Ireland's Troubled Past With This Latest Historical Fiction
Shaun Francis, who holds an HND in Professional Writing from North West Kent College and a BA (Hons) in Humanities from the University of Greenwich, is excited to share his first book, "Reconciliation," with readers.
This gripping and heartfelt novel explores the human cost of Northern Ireland's Troubles and the fragile hope of redemption, offering readers a profound exploration of guilt, grief, and the search for peace.
Set between 1996 and 2017, this book follows Michael Doherty. Michel is a former IRA sniper haunted by the killing of a young British soldier in Crossmaglen, South Armagh. Twenty years later, Michael's sister, Olivia, orchestrates a transformative meeting with Martha, the soldier's grieving mother. Through their emotionally charged encounter, the novel takes a striking turn that would change both Michael's and Martha's lives.
With vivid prose and richly drawn characters, Francis is able to capture the rugged beauty of Northern Ireland and the scars of its divided past, crafting a story that resonates with universal themes of healing and understanding.
Reconciliation is a story about confronting the hardest truths of our past. Michael and Martha's journey reflects the courage it takes to face pain and seek a path forward, not just for themselves but for a society still healing. Francis hopes that readers find their story moving and thought-provoking, as he did while writing it, and it could help change their perspective.
Perfect for fans of Milkman by Anna Burns and The Narrow Land by Christine Dwyer Hickey, Reconciliation will appeal to readers of historical drama, psychological fiction, and family sagas. Its authentic portrayal of the Troubles' legacy and its focus on personal redemption make it a timely addition to conversations about conflict and reconciliation worldwide.
Reconciliation is available in hardcover, paperback, eBook, and audiobook formats at major retailers, including Amazon, and independent bookstores.
