Dopo il successo acclamato dalla critica di dublino, questo avvincente seguito racconta la storia dell'irlanda dal diciassettesimo secolo in poi, partendo dalla riforma e, con essa, dal devastante arrivo di oliver cromwell. Cromwell annuncia l'inaugurazione di duecento anni di dominio protestante, durante i quali molti irlandesi furono impoveriti e spossessati. Dublino diventa una capitale protestante e i cattolici diventano una sottoclasse. Ambientata sullo sfondo drammatico della storia politica irlandese, questa potente saga giunge alla sua conclusione. Viaggiando attraverso i secoli fino alla rivolta di pasqua e all'indipendenza del ventesimo secolo, passando attraverso traguardi turbolenti come l'anno dei francesi, la carestia e il movimento per l'autogoverno di parnell lungo il percorso.

Edward Rutherfurd was born in England, in the cathedral city of Salisbury. Educated locally, and at the universities of Cambridge, and Stanford, California, he worked in political research, bookselling and publishing. After numerous attempts to write books and plays, he finally abandoned his career in the book trade in 1983, and returned to his childhood home to write Sarum. Four years later, when the book was published, it became an instant international bestseller, remaining 23 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List.
Since then he has written seven more bestsellers: Russka, a novel of Russia; London; The Forest, set in England's New Forest which lies close by Sarum; two novels which cover the story of Ireland from the time just before Saint Patrick to the twentieth century; New York; and Paris. His books have been translated into over twenty languages.
