«1972 : A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution (Irish Century)» Morgan Llywelyn Book DescriptionThe Irish Century series is the narrative of the epic struggle of the Irish people for independence through the tumultuous twentieth century. Morgan Llywelyn"s magisterial multi-novel chronicle of that story began with 1916, continued in 1921 and 1949 and now continues with 1972. In 1972, Morgan Llywelyn tells the story of Ireland from 1950-1972 as seen through the eyes of young Barry Halloran, son and grandson of Irish revolutionaries. Northern Ireland has become a running sore, poisoning life on both sides of the Irish border. Following family tradition, at eighteen Barry joins the Irish Republican Army to help complete what he sees as "the unfinished revolution". But things are no longer as clear cut as they once were. His first experience of violence in Northern Ireland shocks and disturbs him. Yet he has found a sense of family in the Army which is hard to give up. He makes a partial break by becoming a photographer, visually documenting events in the north rather than physically taking part in them. An unhappy early love affair is followed by a tempestuous relationship with Barbara Kavanagh, a professional singer from America. Events lead Barry into a totally different life from the one he expected, yet his allegiance to the ideal of a thirty-two county Irish republic remains undimmed as the problems, and the violence, of Northern Ireland escalate. Then Barry finds himself in the middle of the most horrific event of all: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972.

«In the Province of Saints : A Novel» DESCRIPTION: An unforgettable first novel about a young boy growing up in rural Ireland, in the shadow of a dark secret. The Irish countryside of the late 1970s is a place still haunted by folklore and legend, by ghosts who rise from thefields on misty nights, and by old secrets and even older hatreds. Michael, a shy, quiet boy, grows up among the whispers and feuds of his small community, little suspecting that his own family is caught up in one of its darkest stories. But when a neighbor dies suddenly and mysteriously, Michael cannot ignore the rumors that link his own father to the dead woman. Searching for answers, Michael learns that none of those he loves are quite what they seem. And he discovers that becoming a man means that the choice between love and abandonment, loyalty and betrayal, survival and death, is not as easy as he once believed.
