by Edward Rutherfurd
If you have more than a passing interest in Ireland and its people, this is a great book. In an easily readable format, Rutherfurd has done a magnificent job in exploring the people of Ireland and their culture, religion and politics. If you've ever wondered why the Irish think and act as they do, this is the novel to read.
If your interest in Ireland and its people is merely cursory, look elsewhere. The Rebels of Ireland and its companion, The Princes of Ireland, are long novels requiring commitment on the part of the reader.
