About the Book

Twist of Faith. The Irish potato famine in 1845 draws nigh and lives, loves and loyalties must battle for survival. Two boys are born in the same doctor's house at around the same time, one the son of an Irish Catholic peasant woman and one the protestant son of the Lady of the Manor. The lives of the boys, and then as young men, are intertwined as the peasant lads strong willed father, works as a groom for the rather self-centered Lord of the Manor. After a couple of extremely harsh years and a heart wrenching search, the mother of the catholic boy eventually agrees to place their son in a convent, with the hope that the sickly child will live through the famine. The other lad lives a privileged life and enjoys, much to the annoyance of his parents, mixing with the locals. He is eventually sent away to further his education, to Eton College in England. Whilst he is in England there is a romantic involvement, which springs an important surprise to him later in his life. A major turning point is the death of the Etonian's father, which demands the young man's return. Due to his Eton popularity, he has made close friendships with two influential characters; one the son of a Scottish horse stud owner, the other the son of a foreign office diplomat. There is an underlying conflict throughout the story with the Young Irish Defense, the Fenian movement and the control of English landlords. The two main protagonists are not ever in conflict, but there are several extremely important characters that are.
About the Author: About the Author John started writing relatively late in life after a career in, manufacturing hand maid shop fascia's and sign-boards. The majority of this hands-on type work was in a large Irish populated area of North-west London. This is where he undoubtedly found his love of the Irish banter and the people themselves. John really enjoys taking a particular place and time in history and inventing a fictional narrative and set of characters to tell his story. He prefers the shorter book rather than the full novel and tells me he has a virtually completed two novella series, set in Tudor and Elizabethan times practically ready for the press. John was born in the North-east of England, before moving to London as a child. He said that on delving into his ancestry, some years back, he was disappointed not to have Irish ancestors, but did find his long line of mining relatives did originate from the West Country, so he is convinced there is at least some Celt in him.
