amazing final.
In every

Falling for a Dancer

world war on the island but people felt the suffering of the
main land as well. Young Elisabeth Sullivan fell in love with a
traveling actor and had a short intense story with him before he
left the island. She is pregnant and for evading a scandal she
has to marry a widow far away - already with 4 children. Coming

A book
that shows the how people felt about the war on the main land,

perfect way. |

The Princes of Ireland
A real Edward Rutherfurd
book with a few families and their connections between each
others during centuries. From the Celts to Henry VIII. he
connects the families in their love, common life, their fear and
the historical events. Nearly 700 pages full of action and
history take away the reader and let him sink into another
world: the past.
A
wonderful book that is breathtaking like all his other big sagas
like London, Sarum or Russka. Before going to Ireland it is a
big adventure to learn about its past and about the events
coming up during centuries to be the base of modern Ireland.
Here it's so clear how important Dublin and the County Meath are
during the time. |

The Rebels of Ireland
Edward Rutherfurd's second
and connecting story to the 'Princes of Ireland'. The same
families are still connected to each other bur in many ways the
relationship between them are now different with the change of
the events the country is living. He is telling about the
history after 17th century, the reformation and the devastating
days of Oliver Cromwell. 200 years of Protestantism are
following which give huge suffer and poorness. The 'home rules'
are destroying all 'Irish' and ending in the Easter Raising
before 'Eire' can be re-born.
It is
perfect as the first one and needs to be read together. It gives
a complete picture of the events, the way things have gone
because of and why there is still that 'tiny little' problem
with the north.
