About the Book
Eoghan was born in Belfast on the 10th of April, 1998. The happy event of his birth is matched by the announcement of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
The document marks the end of the Troubles, the three decades-long conflict that distressed Northern Ireland.
The hostilities between Republican paramilitaries (IRA), the Loyalist paramilitaries (UVF, UDA) and United Kingdom security forces lacerated the identity of the British population since the late 60s.
Seventeen years later, communities are still hiding their scars.
In April 2015 Eoghan turns seventeen, obtains a driving licence and celebrates a new freedom realising his dream to travel over Northern Ireland.
Back to his parents' roots. Back to his country's past.
