‘Funny, moving and full of wisdom, Hope Against Hope shows Sheena Wilkinson is a writer at the top of her game.’ ― Jan Carson, author of The Fire Starters

Hope Against Hope

It’s 1921. Ireland has been at war with Britain for 2 years. Emotions are still running high from the end of World War 1 and now, with the act of partition, a hard border splits the country, tearing communities apart by conflict. In the small border town of Mullankeen, Polly is still reeling from the loss of her mother, struggling to tolerate a brother much changed by the War and now her best friend has been sent away to school.

A shocking incident at home drives Polly away, joining Catherine in Helens’ Hope Hostel in Belfast; a haven of tolerance in a city that is growing more splintered by the day. But even within safe walls, the girls struggle to maintain their ideals. There are some in the area that hate the hostel and all it stands for. When Helens’ Hope is violently attacked resulting in a horrific tragedy, can Polly keep hope alive?
