Bücher von Kevin Walsh

Sit beside author Kevin Walsh, whose novel Tribal Bonds reads like a riveting fireside tale. The loves, dreams, challenges of three generations of the O'Toole family in St Louis, Missouri, from 1922 to 1994, spin out from page to page. When the clan's lives are turned upside down by a debilitating trauma, once again, their survival instincts and fierce loyalty are called upon. What will happen to each of them as they contemplate how to make sense of a situation that pits their faith against the desire for revenge?Perfect for Irish American Catholics from the baby boomer generation, Tribal Bonds will both thrill readers and remind them they are part of a huge community. There are also millions who observed their Irish Catholic neighbors with more than a little curiosity. These neighbors' parties were always too loud and too long, but if they joined in, they knew they would have a great time-just as they will while reading Tribal Bonds.
