Synopsis "Now and in the Hour of our Death (Stories of the Irish Troubles) "

Patrick Taylor's Now and in the Hour of Our Death is a moving and compelling portrait of ordinary men and women caught up in a conflict not of their making, and of the way the past holds onto us even as we try to move on into an uncertain future. Nine years ago, the bloody conflict in Northern Ireland tore apart two young lovers, consuming their hopes and dreams and changing their lives forever. Now, in 1983, Davy McCutcheon and Fiona Kavanagh find themselves worlds apart. Davy, once a bomb-maker for the Provisional IRA, is serving a twenty-five-year sentence in a British prison. Having seen enough of death and violence, he wants nothing more to do with the struggle that cost him his freedom and his love. But old loyalties die hard and, despite himself, Davy is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy on behalf of his fellow Provos . . . . Meanwhile, Fiona has forged a new life for herself in Vancouver, British Columbia, far away from the war-torn streets of Belfast. Now a vice-principal at a local elementary school, she has a successful career, good friends, and a new man in her life. Yet she remains haunted by painful memories of her troubled homeland--and the love she left behind.

Patrick Taylor es un médico y escritor norirlandés, conocido principalmente por su exitosa serie de novelas ambientadas en Irlanda del Norte, centradas en la ficticia aldea de Ballybucklebo. Nació en Bangor, en el condado de Down, y estudió medicina en Queens University Belfast. Más tarde emigró a Canadá, donde trabajó como investigador y profesor de medicina reproductiva. Su carrera médica ha sido prolífica, con más de 170 publicaciones científicas y varios libros de texto médicos.

Taylor comenzó a escribir ficción como una forma de relajarse, y alcanzó el reconocimiento internacional con su novela "An Irish Country Doctor" (2007), la primera de una larga serie que combina humor, drama y una profunda humanidad. Las historias siguen las vidas del Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly y su joven asistente, el Dr. Barry Laverty, mientras atienden a los excéntricos pero entrañables habitantes del pueblo. Su estilo cálido y nostálgico ha conquistado a lectores en todo el mundo.

Además de sus novelas, Taylor también ha escrito cuentos cortos y ensayos. Aunque retirado de la medicina, continúa escribiendo. Su obra ofrece una visión entrañable de la vida rural irlandesa de mediados del siglo XX, llena de compasión, tradición y humor.
