SynopsisThe "terrible beauty" that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emerald's Isle's fierce struggle for independence.Trinityis 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--impoverished Catholic peasants pitted against a Protestant aristocracy wielding power over life and death. From the Paperback edition.
The most compelling historical fiction I've ever read. I've read it 5 times already over the years & need to read it again Lost my only torn copy to a friend who borrowed it--can't live without it! While it is a novel it explains thru historical content why the Irish & Brits have fought so bitterly for centuries, & it's not about religion. My kin of just a couple generations ago risked everything to get to the USA, but loved the home country for what it should have been for them
