The small town of Refuge is the perfect hideaway for Patrick Lahm and the Freys. Nestled in the heart of Maine and miles away from the Kurtain Motel, Refuge promises both tranquility and ease of mind. The mundane routine of working in the local post office and buying groceries is all Patrick could hope for. For the first time in his life, things are finally looking up. But one can only escape from his sins for so long. Occasional nightmares, visions of the dead and a priest hell-bound on confessions leave the survivors feeling that it is only a matter of time before the darkness catches up. With Jimmy by his side, Patrick watches as the walls of reality crumble around him, and he quickly realizes that there can be no rest for the sinful. No matter how far they run.
The first comprehensive account to record and analyze all deaths arising from the Irish revolution between 1916 and 1921 This account covers the turbulent period from the 1916 Rising to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921—a period which saw the achievement of independence for most of nationalist Ireland and the establishment of Northern Ireland as a self-governing province of the United Kingdom. Separatists fought for independence against government forces and, in North East Ulster, armed loyalists. Civilians suffered violence from all combatants, sometimes as collateral damage, often as targets.

This study provides a unique and comprehensive picture of everyone who died: in what manner, by whose hands, and why. Through their stories we obtain original insight into the Irish revolution itself.

James Joyce is one of the most well-known modernist writers of the twentieth century, whose novels are special in that they use a form that he popularized first in English literature – the stream-of-consciousness style. The novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, is just as contemporary as it was when it was written at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is the aim of Dr. Deb to discover the various ways that Joyce uses to bring out the thematic nuances of the novel. This book is a collection of nineteen critical essays on James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist, and the author has gone beyond the established critical material on this novel, providing analyses from twenty-first century lenses. This book will serve as a reference point for all types of readers of the novel – students, scholars, teachers, and also the common reader.
