Long Shadows Cast Before: Nine Lives in Ulster, 1625-1977Over 300 years and nine generations separate Charles Brett, the author of this book, from the William Brett who first settled in Co. Down ... this book is at once a chronicle of the family's adventures and fortunes over three chequered centuries of Irish history, and an autobiographical account of the author's own experiences. |
