Book Description
A powerful, moving novel of love and war Dublin airport, 1972. Gina, nineteen, too young to be wise, but old enough for love, sex and the repercussions of both, is being borne by the currents of history and habit away from the man she loves. Half Irish, half Bosnian, Stefan is being swept by those same currents towards a different destiny. At home in America, Gina opts for safety in marriage to Warren who takes her son, Tom, as his own. But her friendship with the noisy, unpredictable Bracken family soon calls her back to her beloved Ireland. Moving down the decades between the cheerful bedlam of the Bracken family in Ireland, the routine of life in small town Louisiana and the stark horrors of war in Bosnia, BANKS OF GREEN WILLOW is about the inescapable consequences of 20th century history on commonplace lives. It is a funny, sensuous and at times deeply moving celebration of humanity. But above all, BANKS OF GREEN WILLOW is an ode to love.

Book Description
This is the first full-length study of the life and music of the composer George Butterworth (1885-1916), whose career was cut short by a sniper's bullet at the Somme. He was perhaps the finest of the many outstanding musical talents whose lives were claimed by the First World War. Michael Barlow traces Butterworth's brief life: from preparatory school through Eton and Oxford, a teaching post at Radley, study at the Royal College of Music, a period as a music critic for The Times, and his enlisting in August 1914 which, two years later, led to his heroic death at the Somme. All of Butterworth's surviving compositions are discussed, and important chapters examine his Housman settings and his friendship with Vaughan Williams. Also chronicled for the first time are his extensive activities as a folksong and dance collector.
