Father of a growing family, he is now his generation's custodian of Riverside House. The story opens with a kidnapping and family members later become involved in the terrorist attacks in Dublin in the seventies, the invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and the Falklands War in 1982. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNiki Phillips delivers another page-turner in which excitement, drama and tragedy stalk the lives of family members. But love and success are there too, with a lacing of humour through the rich tapestry of the story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The lives of this engaging family are set against a back drop of well researched recent history . . . contrasting the personal with the political sweep of the times.
