The final book of the trilogy, The Blossom or the Bole, continues to follow the Johnston and McGovern families at a time when the great sorrow of the impact of the First World War in Europe still cuts deeply in the rural Sperrins. Plus, the fallout from the Easter Rising in Dublin challenges friendships and allegiances on all sides of the community.

The Blossom or the Bole Book 3 is the final act of this moving and candid tale of life immediately before the partition of Ireland and the creation of Northern Ireland.
