About this ebook

The making, undoing and remodeling of Geoffrey Doyle as he comes to terms with a disparate, controlling, contentious and very quirky Irish Protestant family.

Set in Ireland, England and the Bahamas, this is a rites of passage literary work full of all the intrigue, passion and heartbreak that comes with a protagonist as determined as he is headstrong, and as shortsighted as he is romantic. Searching for an escape from his labyrinthine family politics, Geoffrey ends up becoming entrapped in a Gordian knot of his own making. He girds his loins and his resolve, and with metaphorical scissors in hand, sets about cutting the knot and his family umbilical cord to boot.
