Peeling Oranges tells the story of how Derek Foley, while sifting through his late father's diaries and his mother's correspondence with an IRA man, discovers that Patrick Foley, a diplomat in Franco's Spain, was not really his father. Derek's mother, who is ailing, is unwilling to discuss the past, forcing her son on a quest that will plunge him into the early history of Irish diplomacy, taking him to Spain and later to Northern Ireland, until he discovers who his real father was - with tragic consequences. Peeling Oranges is a novel full of personal and political intrigue, fraught with ideology, as it intersects the histories of two emergent nations - Ireland and Spain. It is also a beautiful and lyrically written love story of childhood sweethearts - the apolitical Derek and the passionate nationalist, Sinead Ni Shuileabhain]]> Tue, 18 Nov 2014 18:12:43 +0200
