The Three Coins
Toronto, 1951 – Irishman Tom Corbert sits in his rented room and turns an unopened letter over in his hands. The envelope has stamps from all over the world on it, stamps that trace the journey he's been on for the last decade. The letter has followed him all the way from his past, from Ireland.
And it's calling him home.
But Tom is not the only one being summoned. Also in Toronto is Bob Ward, a soft hearted but hard fisted man with whom Tom is familiar mostly through barroom brawls. And someone in Ireland has business with him, too.
The two men independently journey back home to Ireland to unravel a tragic mystery that stretches back almost twenty years--one that will change both their lives forever.
A love letter to the pastoral Ireland and rugged Canada of an earlier generation that draws inspiration from the author's own life, The Three Coins is a comic, heart-warming tale of coincidence and connection that explores the legacy of tragedy and the power of community.
