Ireland in Travail

"Ireland in Travail" by Joice NanKivell Loch, is a journey into the heart of Ireland's fight for freedom in the early 1900s. As the authors step into Ireland, they are immediately confronted by a nation on the edge, torn between those fighting for independence and those loyal to union. The story gets going in 1920, revealing the author’s choice to deep-dive into the chaos of Ireland after their interesting chat with a secret agent named “47”. This character drops hints about the climbing tensions and the strengthening movements of the Irish Republican Army. Driven by a want to see and understand, the authors set out to witness the fierce war of beliefs and national identity, surrounded by an atmosphere of fear, doubt, and difficult choices of loyalty.
