The loss of the family breadwinner forces the MacNeills to leave their island home to make a life for themselves in the city. On the streets of Belfast Colm and his brothers enjoy a different kind of freedom – childhood adventures that run late into the evening, games that last for days and friendly tussles make life in the city a new kind of liberation.The sense of freedom is, however, short-lived. As sectarian violence erupts in Belfast – and Colm’s brother gets involved in the IRA – the MacNeills become unavoidably and tragically caught up in the Troubles of the early 1920s.Acknowledged as a classic of Irish writing, Call My Brother Back is a beautifully written novel by a writer who has been compared to both Chekhov and Joyce. If you enjoyed this, you might also enjoy Michael McLaverty’s novel Lost Fields or his critically acclaimed Collected Short Stories.
