"The Gaelic Letters" (ISBN: 978-0-9840614-4-0, Trade Paper, 409 pages, $16.99, Literary Fiction) is scheduled to be released by Signalman Publishing on May 29, 2010 and will be distributed through Ingram and available through Amazon and wherever fine books are sold.
Orlando, FL, January 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- On the face of it, researching one’s family tree may be of interest only to the immediate and maybe the extended family in question. However, when one discovers some long ago hidden scandal, and decides to follow up on that, then this family history project suddenly gets very interesting.
R. Thomas Roe delves into the dusty world of genealogy research with his debut novel, "The Gaelic Letters" which follows retired attorney Quinn Parker as he traces his roots through the libraries of Georgia, Minnesota, and Utah, and then eventually to Ireland. His curiosity is peaked when he discovers a collection of old letters written in the ancient Irish language of Gaelic while rummaging around his mother’s basement after she recently passed away. When he finds someone who can properly translate these letters, he realizes that there is a whole side of his family that has remained in Ireland, straddling the line between the political conflict and becoming wealthy in the process. This family drama reaches its height as Quinn unravels the layers, exposing secrets that had been viciously protected for over a century.
Roe’s novel is a first-class drama that reveals the flawed motives of every individual concerned. Any family has drama, but this family’s is built on a century of deception that is about to crumble in front of everyone with deadly results. Roe is clearly an expert in the field of family research and, with a mastery of dialog, he is able to weave together a story which will certainly entertain as well as disturb.
