Whilst not intended to be an exhaustive account of the many who emigrated from the Province of Ulster, this work by David Hume reflects the many & varied experiences of the men, women & children who made long journeys to other parts of the world.

Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak & his love for & pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both tragedy & true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never, the day after'. & lastly, of the introverted & reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a fearful sense of exposure', when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba. The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its moods, contriving to make it one of the most English of great English novels. 19.8 x 12.9 x 1.9 cm, pages 331 ...

When 16 year-old Grace gives up her baby for adoption, she decides that the time has come to find out more about her own biological mother. 

Although her biological mum proves elusive, her search leads her to two half-siblings she never knew existed. 

Maya, 15, has been adopted by wealthy parents & seems to have the picture-perfect family – that is, if you look past her alcoholic mother & the fact that Maya stands out like a sore thumb.

When these three siblings come together, they find in themselves the place they can belong, while the secrets they guard threaten to explode...
