TODAY’S RAIN, TOMORROW’S WHISKEY

After 700 years of failed Irish uprisings, Today’s Rain, Tomorrow’s Whiskey marks the twilight of British rule in Ireland. It was hastened, in part, by a man born in the southeast corner of the island: Michael Collins. A party to the 1916 Easter Rising, Michael Collins survived to become Minister of Finance for the fledgling Dáil Éireann, the renegade and revolutionary parliament in Ireland. And, as Director of Intelligence for the nascent Irish Republican Army, he built a formidable network of spies and assassins that ultimately crippled the political operation of British control in Ireland. In fact, in the wake of ongoing retribution and retaliation, Michael Collins became the most hunted man in the British Empire.
Today’s Rain, Tomorrow’s Whiskey is Michael Collins’s story, the story of the fight for an Ireland free.

Fowler is a born storyteller, and she carries us through the
historical drama with riveting accounts of espionage and
passion, while painting an intimate and complex portrait of
Collins, his coteri, and his native West Cork. A great read!
