Trinity
2 journalers for this copy...
From the Publisher:
"The 'terrible beauty' that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emerald's Isle's fierce struggle for independence. 'Trinity' is a saga of glories and defeats, triumphs and tragedies, lived by a young Catholic rebel and the beautiful and valiant Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join him. Leon Uris has painted a masterful portrait of a beleaguered people divided by religion and wealth."
Somewhere, I have a signed first edition of this book, which I read when it was first published in 1976, at the height of the "troubles" in Northern Ireland. I got Uris' autograph at a luncheon where he was guest speaker, a luncheon sponsored by several Irish organizations--testimony to the accuracy of his historical research. I still remember one comment, meant with the highest respect: "It took a Jew to finally tell the story of the Irish."
