Crossing the Lagan

This collection of short stories and vignettes is at once sad humorous and inspiring set against the backdrop of the Diaspora. Woven from the recollections and experiences of childhood in a society divided by religion expectations despair and hope it tells the tales of those who crossed the Lagan in search of a better life. This canvas captures the fleeting nature of the Church's influence and control and the contempt for its hypocrisy.
