Irish Shorts: Nora's Escape and other true stories of love, loss and resistance

Six true stories from an Irish Catholic family caught in the iron grip of a changing world.
Told with unvarnished honesty, dry humour and a good dose of drama, we meet a young girl as she escapes her oppressive father to start life anew in the wilds of New Zealand. We see a familyâ€™s Christian values tested upon discovering their house broken into, and the culprit lurking close by. The decades pass, and world wars turn into religious ones as author Maria Hall travels to bomb-blasted Belfast in search of her heritage and connection to one of Irelandâ€™s most famous artists. But is their family hero the man they thought him to be?
These are just some of the treasures revealed by Hall as she picks through family legend and fact to uncover tales of resistance, love and survival across three awe-inspiring generations.
