Sarah just wants to be a nurse, to do her bit to help the wounded soldiers back from the battlefields in France, soldiers like her brother. But when the hospital in Dublin Castle gets caught in the uprising, Sarah finds her loyalties stretched to the limit. How can Irishmen be her enemy? She just wants to see an end to the killing, an end to the fear. * A wonderfully emotional telling of the momentous events of Easter Monday 1916 in Dublin * This subject is of interest to all those who are interested in the ongoing troubles in Northern Ireland
