Description

In the acclaimed writer who fascinated the planet with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other precious classics of twentieth century fiction comes a significant and effective epic journey that reflects the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for independence. It's the story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the stunning and valiant Protestant woman who defied her history to become listed on his cause. It's an account of risk and love, of success at an impossible price -- an impressive symbol of the people separated by religion, course, and bias -- a majestic land that was devastated by an unforgettable saga of the fires. .
