Set in 2020, the first year of a united Ireland, Turas tells the story of seven friends, connected through a church cell group, and their spiritual journey through this significant time. One man struggles to come to terms with a skeleton in his past; another wrestles with the reality of an unhappy marriage and a dead-end job; one asks out a new girlfriend – and in doing so bites off more than he bargained for. Alongside these events the men are all living out their everyday lives dealing with their own unique challenges and disappointments. As the men meet together to study the Bible, in particular the story of Jeremiah and the exile to Babylon, they find the timeless book speaking to them in their current situation in a way they did not realise before was possible. At a range of key milestones in the year, the protagonists explore the meanings of these markers in their year, interpreting them in their own way. Focused on Ireland’s past, present and future, Turas will appeal to Irish residents and fans of Irish fiction. It will also reach those interested or involved in Christianity and Evangelicalism.
