Description:
In April 1861 - The Month of the Shattered Hearth - landlord John George Adair evicts over 250 tenants from Derryveagh, their ancestral homeland in Donegal, Ireland. Adair blamed the unsolved murder of his land steward on the whole community and uproots them, utterly. Some die on the Roads; others in the Workhouse. Derryveagh's young are "assisted" by ship to farthest Australia. Having swapped his Gaelic "eyesores" for imported Scottish sheep, "Black Jack" builds a castle next door at Glenveagh for his new American bride, and the region falls Silent. The scandal splits Parliament, sparking a firestorm across Ireland, England, Australia and America. But John Adair prevails, keeping his titles and dreams.
