1916: A NOVEL OF THE IRISH REBELLION

A revolutionary turning point in Irish history is orchestrated by purist poets and devout patriots. The story focuses on the life of one man who plays a major part in the uprising. Fiacre Douglas's melodic Irish brogue, expressing a feisty enthusiasm for these colorful characters, authenticates this narration with rich dramatization. This story is complicated, moving between the Irish rebellion and the background of WWI, yet Douglas simplifies the twists and turns by focusing on and endearing us to the valiant men and women associated with each conflict. This Irish legend is vividly presented. B.J.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 99]
