The Irish Boer Woman is the second volume of the Brigid O’Meara trilogy (the first part was England Wants Your Gold, printed in 2015) that follows the life of an adventurous young Irish woman who is drawn into the intrigues and violence of the Jameson Raid of 1895, and later incarcerated in a British concentration camp during the Anglo Boer War for assisting active Boer commandos.
As an Irish nationalist, Brigid finds herself in the midst of a clash of cultures and worldviews. She is drawn into the conflict of the Anglo Boer War by identifying and entering the struggle of the Boers of the Transvaal to retain their independence, putting her into direct conflict with British authorities representing an expanding global empire. Adding to her emotional turmoil is her romantic involvement with a British Uitlander, who is facing charges of high treason by the Transvaal Boer Government.
Through the characters, the reader enters the harrowing realities of a war in which the two Boer Republics mobilized every man between 16 and 60 with no uniform, no money and no formal training to take on the might of the British Empire.
A Courtney Series novel and the sequel to the global bestseller WAR
CRY Torn apart by war, Saffron Courtney and Gerhard von Meerbach
are thousands of miles apart, both struggling for their lives.
Gerhard - despite his objections to the Nazi regime - is fighting
for the Fatherland, hoping to one day have the opportunity to rid
Germany of Hitler and his cronies. But as his unit is thrown into
the hellish attrition of the Battle of Stalingrad, he knows his
chances of survival are dwindling by the day. Meanwhile Saffron -
recruited by the Special Operations Executive and sent to occupied
Belgium to discover how the Nazis have infiltrated SOE's network -
soon finds herself being hunted by Germany's most ruthless
spymaster. Confronted by evil beyond their worst imaginings, the
lovers must each make the hardest choice of all: sacrifice
themselves, or do whatever they can to survive, hoping that one day
they will be reunited. Courtney's War is an epic story of courage,
betrayal and undying love that takes the reader to the very heart
of a world at war.
