The Road Home — Charlotte Hardy

A young man comes of age in late nineteenth-century Ireland - Matt's happy childhood in rural Ireland is blighted only by the knowledge that his ‘Uncle' Patsy and ‘Aunt' Nora are not his real family. Then Nora dies in a tragic accident, and Matt and Patsy are taken in by their English landlords. As Matt forms life-changing friendships, his political antennae are awakened. But it is Matt's search for identity â€" and love â€" that proves the driving force in his life.
