Описание книги

Jason Stevens is an angry 15-year-old when his parents decide to move from Toronto to Lucan, Ontario, site of the notorious 1880 massacre of the Irish-Canadian Donnelly family. In the big city, Jason’s spate of petty thievery earned him a sentence of community service under the tutelege of his grandfather, an eccentric retired school teacher, who is building a museum devoted to the history of Lucan. Now even unhappier than he was in Toronto, Jason falls in with a gang of youth called the White Boys, who are involved with the local drug trade and who are terrorizing the neighbourhood, much as the Donnellys were once accused of doing. While performing his community service, Jason finds himself becoming enthralled with the Donnelly story. With the help of a ghost of someone who may have had something to do with the butchery of the Donnellys, Jason searches for answers both in history and in his own life.

blood of the DONNELLYS

I revisited the Donnelly Homestead in July 2000. I spent a very pleasant summer afternoon with J. Robert Salts, the current owner, as he recounted his experiences living at the Donnelly Homestead, which are vividly described in his book You Are Never Alone: Our Life on the Donnelly Homestead. I wish to thank Mr. Salts for his encouraging words of success on the publication of my novel and for his permission to use his name and the Donnelly Homestead in my story.

The family sat silently in the car as we drove home for one of the last times. As Mr. Roberts had said, we planned to leave in a couple of days for Lucan. Dad was taking a job as a freelance writer and photographer with the local Lucan newspaper. Mom began her new nursing job in nearby London soon, too.

Mixed with the guilt was the resentment of the move. Jennifer and I had been born in Toronto and had lived our whole lives in the small two-storey three-bedroom house in suburban Etobicoke. Since the trial had begun, I’d had no time to really say goodbye to my friends, especially my best one, Sam.
