Release the Raven

Janet Killeen • 1 June 2020

Continuing the story from 'After the Flood'

‘Release the Raven’, continues the story of Theresa and the significant relationships she makes that were begun in ‘After the Flood’ (Mirador, 2017). The past is inextricably woven into the present: in the prequel, it is the discovery of a historic crime, the violent death of a young woman and her child during the English Civil War, that is transformative. ‘Release the Raven’ further develops our relationship with the past and explores the life of the young man she met in the concluding chapter of the prequel. Reflecting, through the characters, on fanaticism and violence, forgiveness, healing and hope, the novel asks whether there can possibly be a road of reparation and restoration following acts of terror and destruction.
