The unforgettable story of one mother's fight for justice after her beloved son was fatally injured. Roseann and Christopher Brennan’s lives were shattered when their beloved son, Jake, was mowed down by a car on a quiet estate in Kilkenny, Ireland. The young mother describes the indescribable as her fatally injured 6-year-old lay in her arms pleading: “Mammy, I Don’t Want to Die.’’ In her searingly candid story, Roseann tells of her descent into chronic depression, being admitted to a psychiatric ward and the collapse of her marriage. She also speaks about self-harming and how her despair culminated in a suicide attempt that she was lucky to survive. Yet even during her darkest days, Roseann was determined to fight for justice and to turn her terrible loss into a legacy for her firstborn child. This is a story of an indomitable mother, crazed with loss, but fighting for her life, her marriage, her children and for Jake’s Legacy.

It is the Spring of 1919. The first shots have already been fired in the Irish War of Independence and the separatist Dáil Éireann has held its first public session. In Limerick, Ireland’s fourth largest city, the workers and their representatives take over running the city and their action is declared a ‘Soviet’. The British authorities see it as a serious threat to their rule in Ireland. The workers are protesting against a severe military law that requires them to get special passes and be checked going to and from work. The restrictions follow the IRA shooting of a policeman and the wounding of another during the rescue of an ill Republican prisoner from a local hospital. He, too, is wounded and dies. The workers control every aspect of life – production and distribution of food, opening and closing of shops, prices and transport. They publish their own newspaper and – uniquely – issue their own currency. Newspapers and newsreels across the world report on the events. Their initial success is built on a local alliance of Socialist, Republican and trade union forces, with the tacit support of the Catholic clergy. However, when the workers seek a general strike, the national leaderships of these disparate groups are opposed and abandon them. The outcome locally is an honourable draw and the militant spirit of Limerick’s women and men inspires more than a hundred other soviets across Ireland in the revolutionary years 1919 to 1923.

Compelling and wonderfully descriptive, Austin recalls his life experiences as a veterinarian travelling the globe, from his native Ireland to the far reaches of Australia and New Zealand. While not always glamorous, this collection of stories is achingly honest and utterly captivating. With many laughs along the way, readers delight in accompanying him on his amazing journey. Austin describes situations animals get themselves into, procedures that need to be done, and so much more. There is seldom a typical day in his life. From farm animals to domestic and everything in between, Austin encounters some pretty interesting creatures around the world. The animals rightly take centre stage and their unique personalities shine through in this beautifully written memoir. Many of the animals he encounters leave the reader with a sense of familiarity. This book captures the real sense of connection between vet and those who rely on his services, all while being acutely aware of the very special bond between animal and owner. The real love, compassion and awareness shown towards all his charges is evident, making this a very touching read. With dashes of nostalgia, a deep appreciation of nature and the great outdoors this collection of poignant, quirky and unpredictable short animal stories will not disappoint. Whiskers, Feathers and Fur is a must-read for lovers of the James Herriot series, whilst also offering some fresh 21st century perspectives.
