[English version below] Is úrscéal é seo ina dtugtar léargas íogair aibí ar eascairdeas na Sé Chontae le linn aimsir an chéad chogaidh dhomhanda. Sa scéal lándaonnachtúil seo déantar cur síos ar scoilteanna truamhéalacha pobail agus creidimh, agus ar iarracht an fhíorghrá na deighiltí sin a shárú. Iarracht gan rath í, áfach, agus faigheann nimh thubaisteach na dTrioblóidí an lámh in uachtar faoi dheireadh agus déanann sí an leathshonas crua-aimsithe úd a chloí arís ... ag maíomh, go tragóideach, nach féidir an dubh a chur ina gheal ach seal san áit a dtéann an nimh go domhain san fhuil. Láithreoir: Róisín Adams Aíonna: Liam Carson agus Caitlín Nic Íomhair [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] This novel gives a mature, measured insight into the enmity in the Six Counties during the time of the first world war. The pitiful divisions between communities and religions are drawn in detail in this character-driven story, as is the attempt of true love to overcome those divisions. That attempt is unsuccessful, however, and the cruel bitterness of the Troubles soon gets the upper hand, destroying hard-earned almost-happiness once again ... showing, tragically, that you can only pretend for so long in a place where hatred is so deeply rooted. Presenter: Róisín Adams Guests: Liam Carson and Caitlín Nic Íomhair
