The final part of the explosive Celtic Colours Trilogy When
the big men get around the table on Good Friday of 1998 and sign up
to peace in Northern Ireland nine year old Cian Duffy’s story
should have ended. Instead it is the beginning of a decade of
Troubles for him. Haunted by his mother’s IRA past and chased by
present day violence sectarianism, Cian ends up being forced to flee
peace-torn Belfast. Facing a life in exile, he reconciles himself to
the past and makes a new life for himself, somewhere he feels he
belongs. Then Britain votes for Brexit; the old adage of England’s
difficulty being Ireland’s opportunity is tabled yet again and Cian
has to confront the past and the future. White
Leaves of Peace is a stark reminder that ending a war takes more
than the signing of a treaty. Peace is hard won. You have to fight
for it.
