Introduction The book tells the story of the intertwining lives of the following families the Larkins and O Neills, Catholic hill farmers from the fictional town of Ballyutogue in County Donegal the Macleods, Protestant shipyard workers from Belfast and the Hubbles. The book describes a number of historical events from the Great Famine up until the Easter Rising in 1916. The book further portrays the British and Protestant elite s manipulation of religious and ethnic divides to further their own ends as well as deepen the animosity between Catholics and Protestants. Plot The story opens with the funeral of Kilty Larkin, father of Tomas and grandfather of Conor Larkin Conor . Amidst the ancient Irish Catholic mourning process, Conor has a vision of the town storyteller who tells Conor of the history of the Fenian s, a rebel group from the early 19th century. This stirs the fire of rebellion into the now 12 year old Conor Larkin, and sets him onto the path for freedom for his Irish people. Soon after this, Seamus O Neill, Conor best friend, began school in town under a Protestant named Mr. Ingram. Conor needed at home, helped his father in the fields, until he became an apprentice at a black smith shop. As the years past the boys became friends with Mr. Ingram, who taught them of the power of books and the history of their Irish fathers. Seamus goes to college in Dublin, and Conor heads to Derry, in the province of Ulster. Here he moves into Bogside and witnesses the extent of the disaster that has befallen the Irish people. Bogside is in tatters and in a state of despair that has stricken them since before the potato famine in 1845 and 1852. Held down by the Protestant rein in Derry s labor unions, the Catholics are dying slowly without hope. It is here in Derry where Conor di ... more details

The Bogside Colliery closed in the 1980s, and by the early 1990s, the Castlehill and Solsgirth coal reserves were exhausted. Production continued from the Castlebridge area. On privatisation of the coal industry, the complex passed into the ownership of Mining Scotland and later Scottish Coal Deep Mine Ltd. ref name HSE In the late 1990s, new roadway tunnels were driven to access a coal seam beneath the Forth, downstream of the Kincardine Bridge. When production from Castlebridge ceased, in 2000, the northern side of the complex was sealed off and flooded. Dams were constructed, isolating the old workings from the active Kincardine working. ref name HSE In March 2002, millions of gallons of water flooded into the underground workings. The 15 people below ground at the time were in another part of the mine and all were evacuated safely. ref name HSE Shortly after the flooding, Scottish Coal Deep Mine Limited, went into receivership. It became clear that no new operator would take over the mine, and all the pumps were switched off, allowing further flooding.
