Book description
New York in the 1920s: the biggest binge and the longest hangover
in history. From gangsters, short skirts and the Charleston to booming
stock markets and financial mayhem on Wall Street. Of course, these
exhilarating times have to end and, when the Crash finally comes, the
shockwaves are felt around the world . Meanwhile, three brothers from
Ireland are caught up in the crazy rhythm of the roaring twenties. Dan
becomes a stockbroker on the New York Stock Exchange while Tim, a
priest-to-be, finds his vocation severely tested on the Lower West
Side. Then there is Michael who, backed by a psychotic gang boss, hits
the big time as a popular singer. What does the future hold for these
three brothers? With the world around them changing rapidly, can they
hold on to what they have?
Gerard Mac was a journalist and author. He lived in Wilmslow,
