Description
Relationships fracture when two families find themselves caught up in the Irish Troubles
The Green family move to Kilkenny from England in 1969, at the beginning of the conflict in Northern Ireland. They rent a farmhouse on the outskirts of town, and make friends with the O'Connor family next door.
Not every member of the family adapts easily to their new life, and their differing approaches lead to misunderstandings and friction. Despite this, the bonds between the family members deepen with time.
Perturbed by the worsening violence in the North threatening to invade their lives, the children make a pact never to let the troubles come between them.But promises can be broken, with tragic consequences for everyone.
If you like family dramas in an authentic Irish setting, Rebel Green will thrill and move you in equal measure.Buy it now

Person
Kate Foleyis a widely published, prize-winning poet who has read in many London, other UK and European locations. Her first collection, Soft Engineering was short listed for best first collection at the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival.
Kate, born in London before WW2, now lives in both Amsterdam and Suffolk, where she writes, performs and leads workshops and where, when possible, she likes to work with other poets and artists of any other discipline. Her working life as a nurse, midwife, teacher and archaeological conservator meant that she didn't consider being published until she retired from her last day job as Head of English Heritage's Ancient Monuments Laboratory. Her 9th collection, Electric Psalms:New and Selected Poems was published by Shoestring Press, 2016, and her 10th collection, A Gift of Rivers, from Arachne Press came out in 2018.
