Shannon, A Novel

"A rousing tale of forbidden love,
civil war, horrible death and other
things Irish. A well-crafted, satisfying
work of historical fiction, as are all of
Delaney's novels; respectful of the facts
while not cowed by them, and full of life."
Kirkus, Dec 2, 2008

Robert Shannon, a young American war hero, suffering shell-shock after his experiences in the First World War's terrible Battle of Belleau Wood, comes to Ireland to trace the river of his ancestors and try to find his way in the world again. He stumbles headlong into the Irish Civil War - and the lives of the quirky, generous, colorful, charming and idiosyncratic characters that people the books and the imagination of Frank Delaney.
