Unbiased Portraits of Ordinary Lives Caught in the Crosshairs of Northern Ireland's Troubles

Ireland, land of legendary poets and storytellers, has been wracked by bloody sectarian violence over the last quarter century. Bombs and guns were, and once again are, the primary negotiation tools used by Catholic and Protestant extremists in the conflict surrounding the sovereignty of Northern Ireland—the six counties known as Ulster.

In Only Wounded, New York Times bestselling author Patrick Taylor traces an intricate narrative path through Ulster, detailing sensitive, unbiased portraits of the ordinary—and not so ordinary—people caught in the partisan brutality of The Troubles. This poignant collection of stories centers on the hopes and despairs of everyday life amidst the turmoil.

Through his deft storytelling, Taylor sheds light on a tumultuous period of Irish history, giving voice to those whose lives were forever changed. Only Wounded is a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of political and social upheaval.
