Synopsis

Patrick Taylor's first novel of the Irish Troubles, Pray for Us Sinners, introduced us to Provisional IRA bomb maker Davy MacCutcheon and the love of his life, Fiona Kavanagh. Davy planned to leave the Provos after one final mission. But the deadly mission backfired, and Davy ended up in prison. Six years later, Fiona Kavanagh has and found sanctuary in Vancouver, Canada. But news of a breakout at the Maze prison brings back memories she thought she'd left behind. Especially when she discovers that Davy is one of the escapees. Davy's desperate to go to Canada, but in exchange for the forged documents he needs to join Fiona, he must help one final attack against the British soldiers. Can Davy's love for Fiona transcend his commitment to a cause that led to his imprisonment? Will Davy threaten the peace Fiona has found in Canada? And does Fiona want him to? From secret IRA meetings in tense County Tyrone to the easy tranquillity of Vancouver, Patrick Taylor describes with delicate precision and painstaking detail the events that set the escape plan in motion. This is a haunting, exultant prayer to the lives of those bound by the ties of patriotism and the intimate battles we fight to release our hearts from the fetters of love and loyalty.

Revue de presse

Praise for Patrick Taylor: Pray for Us Sinners is written with heartfelt urgency to explain Ulster rather than demonize the place and the population. A deeply felt thriller and a very valuable one. -- The Globe and Mail Flawlessly researched and . . . nails the chips-and-guns-with-everything atmosphere of violence in mid-1970s Ulster.--Quill & Quire on Pray for Us Sinners Patrick Taylor has become probably the most popular Irish-Canadian writer of all time.--The Globe and Mail Taylor . . . captivates and entertains from the first word. --Publishers Weekly
