Birmingham, Alabama, 1921: after the Great War, the city of coal and steel is a crucible of money and power. Fortunes are there to be won or lost, with race and class used as means to that end. Father Jimmy Coyle, originally from Roscommon, swims passionately against that tide, building inclusive congregations and speaking out against the rise of white supremacy. He is a thorn in the side of the Ku Klux Klan – until he isn't.
Told in the compelling voice of Jimmy's younger sister Marcella, Something Bigger delivers a vivid, moving picture of a society twisted by hate and prejudice. Sheila Killian is an award-winning author and teacher based in Limerick, and has based Something Bigger on a true story: she is the grand-niece of Jimmy and Marcella Coyle.
Initially published in the United States during Covid, this handsome new European second edition features a fine new cover and is printed in Ireland.
