To uncover its secret landscape, with a troubled past and an uncertain future, Garrett Carr travelled Ireland's border on foot and by canoe. This invisible line has hosted smugglers and kings, runaways, peacemakers, protestors and terrorists, revealing the tumult of a border, changing the way we look at nationhood, land and power. From encounters with border dwellers to uncovering rituals, hidden pathways and ancient monuments, this book presents the borderland as a unique realm of its own, and asks what it holds for the future.

In einer kleinen Gemeinde an der Westküste Irlands wird 1973 ein Baby am Strand gefunden. Ambrose, der Fischer, und seine Frau Christine adoptieren den Jungen, der fortan den Namen Brendan Bonnar trägt. Alle sind fasziniert von diesem Kind, dessen Herkunft ein Rätsel ist, und Brendan, der für viele ein Rätsel bleibt, gibt dem vom Sturm der Zeitläufte gebeutelten Dorf die Hoffnung auf ein gutes Leben zurück. Zwanzig Jahre folgen wir dem Leben der Familie, das geprägt ist von Fürsorge und Schweigen, von der Rivalität der Brüder, von finanziellen Sorgen, aber auch dem Glück, von einer Gemeinschaft getragen zu werden.Bewegend und kraftvoll erzählt Garrett Carr die Geschichte eines Jungen, der versucht, seinen Platz in der Welt zu finden, und die einer Familie und Dorfgemeinschaft, die gemeinsam den Widrigkeiten des Lebens trotzen. Eine Lektüre, die Hoffnung macht.
