The O'Briens is a tale that pours straight from the heart of a splendid, tragic, ambitious clan. Picking up a generation later from Behrens’ award-winningThe Law of Dreams—a harrowing tale of potato famine Ireland and immigration—we now meet Joe O’Brien, a fiercely compelling character who exchanges isolation and poverty in the Canadian wilds for a share in the dazzling possibilities and consuming sorrows of the twentieth century. When Joe meets Iseult Wilkins we begin the story of a marriage and a family moving through history—from the first flying machines, through two world wars, and the election of JFK—told with epic precision and wondrous imagination.
