Carla’s Book Club featuring: The Black Donnellys

Join us as we discuss The Black Donnellys

Near London, Ontario, in the Lucan district, even the bravest were scared to ride at night. The notorious Donnelly family – brawlers, murderers, robbers, arsonists – were despised and feared, and their reign of bloodshed and terror gripped the community… until the townspeople planned their revenge. The Black Donnellys is the tale of the most vicious feud in southwestern Ontario history. Blending parts of a true story with generous spoonfuls of fiction, crime author Thomas P. Kelley’s sensational interpretation of this tragedy raised the Donnellys from local folklore to a shocking piece of Canadiana.
