TransAtlantic
Description
1919. Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of the First World War to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. Among the letters being carried on the aircraft is one which will not be opened for almost a hundred years. 1845. Frederick Douglass, a black American slave, lands in Ireland to champion ideas of democracy and freedom, only to find the beginnings of a famine unfurling at his feet. On his travels he inspires a young maid to go to New York to embrace a free world, but America does not always fulfill its promises for her. From the fierce battlefields of the Civil War to the quiet ice lakes of northern Missouri, it is her youngest daughter Emily who eventually finds her way back to Ireland. 1998. Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in search of an elusive Irish peace. How many more bereaved mothers must he meet before an agreement can be reached? ... ISBN:978-1-4088-4126-6
