Each displays all of the author's skill, for he is a writer at his best when the subject seems almost too big to handle. In Trinity, he writes passionately about the tragedy of Ireland - from the famine of the 1840s to the Easter Rising of 1916, a powerful and stirring novel about the loves and hates, the defeats and triumphs of three families - a terrible and beautiful drama spanning more than half a century.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Common Room on Friday

Absolutely fascinating read. Thought I knew something of the troubles in Ireland in the late 1800s and earl 1900s but I realise that I know very little. It has certainly changed my thinking and understanding of the plight of Catholic families and the Briish Aristocracy in their fight for this country.

Will be releasing this book at the Virgin Blue Terminal at Sydney Airport on Saturday 24th January 2009. Hope the next reader enjoys it as much!
