Exile

Exile

The story of The Nationalists continues…

In Exile, Tony McAnthony, the journalist, begins a new chapter of his life in America. From the roaring twenties to the Kennedy era, the novel traces decades of change, ambition, and upheaval, both in the New World and beyond.

Familiar faces return—most notably Pairic O’Toole, who leaves soldiering behind to embrace a Franciscan life, only to face unimaginable hardship in Auschwitz. Alongside them, new characters emerge, including Big Emily, a visionary teacher navigating the challenges of the Depression in pursuit of educational reform.

Sweeping in scope and rich in historical detail, Exile is a story of resilience, identity, and the enduring spirit of the Irish people—setting the stage for the trilogy’s final instalment, The Irish.
