Summary
It’s a hard time in Ireland in 1940.
Bombings, the front lines, the changing of borders every day - Ireland might have declared neutrality, but the people are still hungry for news. There’s fear in the streets, uncertainty in people’s eyes, need and desperation spread everywhere.
And Declan O’Hara is bringing the truth to the people, page by page.
Taggie is bringing tea, hard biscuits and sandwiches. But she likes to think that’s almost as important.
At her father's newspaper, the Dublin Tribune, Taggie sees everyone and everything as she feeds the staff from her trusty lunch cart. Including the side businesses Declan runs, dealing in information and smuggled goods. When he makes a new connection with Rupert Campbell-Black, former Olympian, horse breeder, and black market smuggler, Taggie wonders if she's finally found that tiny spark of joy amidst wartime.
