Dublin Bay - Tides of Change, #1 - E-book - ePub

In 1939, the world tumbles toward war and the lives of two young men will be forever changed. James Brennan grew up in the poorest of Dublin's tenements, turning adversity to advantage wherever he could. But he's nearly a man now-with a good education at that-and wants more from life than what he can get as a day laborer, or following his father into the factory. Otto Werner is the privileged son of a German diplomat stationed in Dublin.
Otto is destined for great things in the new Europe sure to arise after Germany's victory in the war. But he's a lonely young man, living in Ireland with only his father for company, cut off from friends and family back home. The two teens meet by chance, and each sees in the other a means to advance his own interests. But they quickly become friends, and then-surprisingly, dangerously-more. As the globe spirals deeper into chaos, the love between the young men deepens; but their world is not a hospitable place for forbidden love. As war comes closer and closer to home, everything they believe-about themselves, about each other, about the world around them-will be shattered.
Will their love for each other survive the pull toward destruction in a world gone mad?
