[/At the turn of the twentieth century, Irish novice monk Michael Fitzpatrick arrives in Hereford struggling with his faith. Then he meets Alice, and the life he thought he had chosen begins to unravel.
Against the backdrop of the Great Western Railway, Cider City follows the Fitzpatrick family through love, loss and betrayal amid Britain's profound social and political upheavals.
From the trenches of the First World War to railway strikes and Irish republicanism, Michael's journey reflects a nation in turmoil. Returning from war scarred and drawn towards pacifism and nationalism, he faces fresh challenges at home.
Schoolroom mischief, first love, teenage pregnancy, domestic violence and forbidden desires intertwine with compassion and reinvention, while Gertrude battles her demons as the past threatens to catch up with her.
As motorcars emerge, industrial unrest grows and another war looms, the railways remain a constant in ordinary lives.
Rich in family drama and historical detail, Cider City portrays early twentieth-century Britain, where private lives unfold against the relentless march of history and the promise of peace remains elusive./]
