Book Description
From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost -- a magnificent portrait of a people divided by class, faith, and prejudice -- an unforgettable saga of the fires that devastated a majestic land . . . and the unquenchable flames that burn in the human heart.

TOLD, AND TOLD WELL,
By
This review is from: Trinity (Mass Market Paperback)
It disturbed me to learn, while reading Trinity, that Leon Uris passed away at the age of 78. I'm glad I was reading one of his most acclaimed novels when it did happen, so finishing it made it that much more special. I will admit I did try to read this novel about 15 years ago and couldn't due to its heavy subject matter, but I'm glad I took another crack at it.I must say that Trinity is a wondrous and expansive novel. Uris weaves many, stories and tales over the years with seamless ease. We are presented with 3 families of different backgrounds, the Larkens (Catholics), the Hubbles (protestants) and the Weeds (Presbyterians). All have an agenda of their own, whether it be respect, money or carrying on a lineage; we are shown each side and how they play on each other. Uris paints a vast portrait of the Irish lifestyles both rich and poor. Friends made and friends lost abound.

I lived in Northern Ireland for some years. Leon Uris's descriptions of Londonderry, and the character of the people who live there is almost spooky as to how accurate it is.This is a wonderful read.
