17 Martin Street: A Graphic Novel

By Marilyn Taylor

Graphic novel adaptation of the classic wartime novel

When Hetty Golden's family move to Martin Street near Portobello bridge in Dublin, they're not sure of their welcome. And next door, Ben Byrne's family are not sure about their new Jewish neighbours: it's the Emergency and they are suspicious of strangers.

To repay a debt, Ben agrees to do odd jobs for the Goldens, keeping it a secret from his family. But there's a bigger secret: Renata, a refugee from Nazi Germany, is on the run in the city, and Hetty is determined to rescue her.

Can Hetty and Ben overcome their differences and save Renata, or are they just meddling in things they know too little about?
