The Song of O’Sullivan’s Chain by Bruce Sudds

Devin O’Sullivan has returned to his family’s home on Grand Island, across from Kingston, Ontario, Canada, during the final days of the life of his great-grandfather, Michael. Struggling with a crisis in his political career, he is drawn to the tales of his family and quickly swept up by their present travails.

The Song of O’Sullivan’s Chain explores the Irish experience in Canada by presenting a series of linked stories that propel us through generations of the O’Sullivan family. They struggle for freedom in Ireland and acceptance in Canada, tormented by political and personal traumas, which compels them to be leaders, artists and outlaws – all searching for home.

The author, Bruce Sudds, is an observer, essayist, and writer located in Prince Edward County.  A graduate of York University specializing in Creative Writing, he has worked as a journalist, speechwriter, and social entrepreneur.

Bruce does most of his scribbling on an island near Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where he lives with his wife, Carrie, and their three daughters.
