Shire
leaves his home and his life in Victorian England for the sake of a childhood
promise, a promise that pulls him into the bleeding heart of the American Civil
War. Lost in the bloody battlefields of the West, he discovers a second home
for his loyalty.
Clara
believes she has escaped from a predictable future of obligation and privilege,
but her new life in the Appalachian Hills of Tennessee is decaying around her.
In the mansion of Comrie, long hidden secrets are being slowly exhumed by a war
that creeps ever closer.
The
Shire’s Union trilogy is at once an outsider’s odyssey through the
battle for Tennessee, a touching story of impossible love, and a portrait of
America at war with itself. Self-interest and conflict, betrayal and passion,
all fuse into a fateful climax.
Written
by award winning author Richard Buxton, the Shire’s Union trilogy begins with Whirligig,
is continued in The Copper Road, and concludes with Tigers in Blue.

wheel of a paddle steamer.
