A powerful reflection on complex Irish loyalties, divisions and identities, a romantic drama, and a page-turning thriller.
Ambitious and powerful...superbly drawn...McMenamin's ambitious novel scores big
[A] violent and tender story where memorable characters battle love, loyalty and the terrible truths of war
There is a smooth grace to his prose...The tension between the compulsions of history and circumstance, and personal moral choice, are played out compellingly
Ciarán McMenamin confirms his exceptional talent with this admirably powerful and authentic novel about the First World War and the struggle for Irish independence. Tremendous.
