“The Emigrant’s Farewell” is
Liam Browne’s debut novel. These are the details from the publisher: “Joe and
Eileen O'Kane experience a terrible tragedy which leaves them bereft. Winter in
Derry sets in overnight, as does a chill between the young couple. Eileen turns
to her parents for comfort and Joe, somewhat against his will, finds himself
caught up in his widowed father Patsy's regular jaunts around Ireland. A new
chapter of Joe's life begins when he is offered a job researching the story of
the renowned nineteenth-century Derry shipbuilder, William Coppin, and his
strange connection with the fate of the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin - a
story in which Joe will find echoes of his own. As Joe's interest in Coppin
deepens, the two men's lives converge in powerful interlinked narratives of
love and loss, history and its echoes, and of the unforeseen ways in which the
past can illuminate and transform the present.” For more information about the
