Details

Synopsis An American Marine chaplain seeks to rediscover his Irish roots after World War I in Frank Delaney's latest portrait of his beloved homeland. Shell-shocked from his war experience, Father Robert Shannon treks to Ireland to follow the river that bears his name, hoping that by discovering himself, he might begin to make sense of the violence he witnessed in the war, and the corruption he uncovered in his own Archdiocese. But soon after he arrives, he is caught up in the beginnings of the Irish civil war, and also pursued by a killer who wishes him to remain forever silent. Luckily, a community of supporters is there to help him escape the dangers of the present and uncover the puzzle of his past.
Industry Reviews "Delaney handles Shannon's therapeutic journey with sympathy and skill, introducing a diverse cast of Irish characters and layering the narrative with the sort of arcane native lore -- historical, cultural and geographic -- that adds a welcome depth of background." (03/17/2009)
