The Broncle: A Curious Tale of Adoption and Reunion - Paperback

by Brian Bailie (Author)

The problem with discovering your roots: the more digging you do, the dirtier you can get. Adopted into middle-class urban respectability, but with origins deep in the heart of a dramatic rural landscape, BRONCLE is a personal journey of discovery intrinsically linked to the bloody past of Ireland; a true story of smuggling, heartbreak, betrayal, adultery, and lifetime of deception and secrecy.
