Stones Corner, Light: Book 3

by Jane Buckley

Overview

Light, set in war-torn Ulster and London in the early 1980s, continues the sensational cliff-hanging series of thrillers, Turmoil and Darkness.
Caitlin McLaughlin, determined to live an everyday life safe in England, still grieves the loss of her sister and parents back home in Derry. Although she has met a man who offers her a gilded new lifestyle, she cannot dismiss thoughts of her lost love, James Henderson.
After inheriting his uncle's shirt factory, Rocola, James pledges to carry on the battle for the business's survival – even though this traps him in a loveless marriage to a manipulative heiress. Meanwhile, the toxic impact of the sectarian conflict continues to be felt. A merciless kidnap plot is hatched by the PIRA that will touch the lives of both Caitlin and James.
With the women's movement working across the sectarian divide to bring about peace and a growing drift towards the ballot box over the Armalite, Light captures the change in the air in the province. It is a time of hope in the lives of its war-weary people. But no one has foreseen the shattering events in London that will soon threaten their dreams for a brighter future...

About the Author

Jane Buckley was born in Derry/ Londonderry, Northern Ireland, in the late 60s and is the author of the Stones Corner Volume 1, Turmoil. Like many of her generation, she had to leave to find work elsewhere. At the naïve age of 17, she moved to London, where she lived and worked for over twenty-five years before moving to Nice, France.
Along with her husband John (born in Cork, Ireland), they finally returned home in 2017 to live in Derry. They love it but have forgotten how unpredictable the weather is!
Since Jane lived predominantly in London throughout the awful time that is known as “The Troubles”, it was apparent then – and still is today – that not all the facts of the horrific events in Ulster – perpetrated on every side by the warring factions – were presented in an accurate and unbiased way. This was especially true in mainland Britain.
Over recent years, the couple recognised that many of the people they’d been fortunate enough to meet on their travels worldwide didn’t understand why or how the conflict here in the North of
Ireland began and why it continued for three decades.
Jane found this particularly frustrating and decided to take it upon herself to inform them, the younger generation and others by writing a historical fiction series based on her childhood experiences and events from this horrific period in Ireland’s history.
She believes we need to move on from “The Troubles” as a country while never forgetting how and why they occurred. In recognition of the hardship and suffering endured by so many of our friends, family and neighbours, we should continue to embrace the healing and reconciliation process.

Editorial Reviews

I have just finished reading Light and all I can say is fantastic, the twists and turns, the plots, the sadness and happiness in some of the plots. Jane is very good at connecting fiction with reality. Would highly recommend reading all 3 books only downside is I now have to wait for the 4th book... no pressure Jane!

Goodreads.com 5***** - Liz MacManus

I had the privilege of proofreading the 3rd book in the series.
What an excellent read. Lots of things going on in the first third of the book but stick with it . There is a glimmer of light [as per the title ] and another cliff - hanger of an ending!
You should read the books in order. This is a superb addition to the other two. I can 't wait for the final one - Hope .

Goodreads.com 5****** - Dr Michael Chambers

This is the 3rd book in a series of four. All are stand-alone stories, but the greatest joy is to be found by reading the whole series!
Set in what has been euphemistically called "the troubles", the series describes (sometimes very graphically), the trials and tribulations suffered by the people of Northern Ireland during 30 plus-year period of the Country's modern history.
Having lived through these harrowing times the author is well qualified to write about the subject.

Goodreads.com 5***** - Derek Young

A really enjoyable read, dealing sensitively with the delicate situation and balance of politics in the country and how it affected both those born and lived here and those that ended up here through occupation or circumstance. Politics aside, the storyline and characters are captivating.

Looking forward to the final book in the series.
