Dublin

Dublin – the capital of Ireland, the Emerald Isle, where free-spirited Irish people live. Edward Rutherford brings Irish history to life by narrating the stories of families over several generations. This includes brothers forced to choose between loyalty to an ancient faith and the safety of their family, a woman whose passion for a charismatic Irish chieftain threatens her stable marriage to a prosperous merchant, a young scholar whose secret sympathy for rebels is put to the test, and men who risk their lives and the happiness of their children in a tragic quest for freedom, as well as those determined to eliminate the rebels once and for all. Through the stories of people from all walks of life – Protestants and Catholics, rich and poor, traitors and heroes – Rutherford depicts the key stages of Ireland's four-hundred-year journey to independence in all its drama, tragedy, and glory…
