![]() ![]() THOUGHTS ABOUT IRELAND in the 40's - 50's. I got a deeper experience about The Parliament of Ireland - The Dial Eiereann - TD Bankers - oppression- bigotry - discrimination - hostility towards gays - and hostility towards Ireland. It's set against the dramatic backdrop of Irish political/ cultural Catholic Church in Ireland in the 20th century. THIS novel has EVERYTHING I want in a powerful saga. I read this book SLOW - I SERIOUSLY LOVED it soooooo MUCH I'm 'ga-ga'/goo-goo' over this novel!!! I'm sorry it's over - I can't imagine starting another book: It's not only a FAVORITE-FAVORITE.It makes my top 10 BEST BOOKS in at least the last 5 or 6 years!!!! PHENOMENAL- long - lush perfectly escapist read!!!! Not a book to hesitate buying it at this price if you’ve not taken your turn reading it yet. ![]() I actually have a phone call to make to make sure a friend buys it today. Update: If by some crazy reason you have missed this s a $1.99 kindle special today.
