unnoticed gem

I checked this out just to see how it was rated, and to see if other people enjoyed it as much as I did and was shocked to see only one review. I am an avid reader and this is definately in my top ten books. I read it about 6 years ago. Give it a go........ I recommend it and I don't do that often.

Very entertaining historical fiction

This is a very entertaining way to read about a pretty horrible slice in Irish history. This is one of those books that is hard to put down. I highly recommend it.
