Recensione:

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

“This sweeping sequel to The Princes of Ireland displays the same successful Rutherfurd formula of fictionalized history that has served him and his readers so well before. . . . A swiftly moving narrative that deftly blends historical facts with a novelist’s imagination.” —The Calgary Herald
Praise for The Princes of Ireland:
“A sweeping, carefully constructed portrait of a nation.”
–The New York Times

“The Michener of our time.”
–Toronto Star

“Spellbinding. . . . Like James Michener and Leon Uris, Rutherfurd does a magnificent job of packaging a crackling good yarn within a digestible overview of complex historical
circumstances and events.”
–Booklist
