Sinossi

The author has taken a serious subject in the history of Ireland and as always masterfully presented it in a funny, ironic and entertaining way. This historical novel is a story of four generations of Rackrent heirs told in the voice of their longtime steward, Thady Quirk. The story gives us a satirical view of the decline and fall of a noble Irish house into poverty through drinking, extravagant living and a wild passion for loosing cases at law. Through the stories of different generations of the same family, each presents an example of the irresponsible Irish gentry.

    Among the world’s most recognizable man-made structures, the Dome of the Rock – known in Arabic as the Qubbat as-Sakara – is also one of its most mysterious. Although much of the Dome’s construction, reconstruction, and later additions are well-known from historical texts and archeological work, what it represents, why it was built where it was, and even its use remain the subject of scholarly controversy. Known for its immense size and beauty, and also for being located in the middle of Jerusalem, one of the world’s holiest cities, the Dome of the Rock has been the focus of political leaders who wished to legitimize their rule, religious warriors who believed that it empowered their weapons, and pilgrims who thought it was a site of salvation and enlightenment. As it drew these often diverse and sometimes disparate people to it, it has served the purposes of devout Jews, Muslims, and Christians, who -- although often not peacefully sharing the site -- seem to recognize its spiritual importance. 
    The Dome of the Rock has been many things to many people over the centuries, and historians, art historians, and archaeologists have studied the Dome of the Rock and its background extensively. Academics have created an accurate chronology of its life, as well as details about how the monument was built, including the construction and artistic techniques that were used. The dome was built on the site of what is believed to have been the Solomonic Temple that the Israelites built to worship their god, Yahweh, setting the stage for the entire area to be a holy site for the Abrahamic religions over the following centuries. Historians believe that the Umayyad Muslims saw this background as a prime location to build one of the greatest religious complexes in the Islamic world.

    In the UK, around one in six men will experience some form of sexual violence. Many of these men who experience sexual abuse are dismissed, only brought up as the butt of a joke, an exception to the rule or, perhaps at worst, are used as a rhetorical tool against female victims.
    Conversations on sexual violence have understandably focused on women's voices and experiences, with data indicating that women are still the majority of victims and not enough is being done to prevent this violence. As most perpetrators of this violence against women are men, it becomes almost easy to mistake that male survivors stories are exceptions or irrelevances. The fact is that we share a world and our experiences are closely interwoven.
    Sons and Others challenges misconceptions and misrepresentations of sexual violence against men across media and society and offers a new way of seeing and understanding these men in our lives, asking how the violence they experience affects us all.
