Boycott
Colin C Murphy
Boycott! He gave his name to the world. He
gave Ireland her greatest weapon.Ireland,
1848, and one million people are dead. Two
young brothers, Owen and Thomas Joyce,
struggle to survive the horror of Ireland’s Great
Famine, but the experience leaves them with
radically altered and divergent personalities.
Thrown together three decades later during
the turbulent, often violent Irish Land War
in 1880, they face a common enemy in the
imperious Captain Charles Boycott, a land
agent in County Mayo who ruthlessly exploits
his tenants and who is backed up by the army, the police, the press and
the British Government. In the course of their struggle against Boycott, one
brother will choose the path of non-violence, the other that of terrorism, and
Owen and Thomas are forced to confront each other – and the demons that
haunt their past.
