Learnt lots about Ireland and Ulster, very enlightening and at the same time made the whole Irish conflit more complicated. Funny read with MOD soppy sections meddled with great historical info on the history and facts of the conflict. Learnt lots from this and it makes it clearer how difficult an outcome is for Ireland. Recommended read for the historical facts. ( ) Sprawling but increasingly engaging, Trinity gathers steam in proportion to its length. It's a lucky thing, too, since it's nearly 800 pages. Although I would have preferred at times more history and less novel, it deftly invoked powerful emotional responses (particularly feelings of futility leading to anger). Also, I kind of hate the British now. When I read this book it opened my eyes to the English oppression of the Irish for centuries. The cruel and inhumane greed for a "colony" was mind blowing. I'm second generation Irish and it hurt my heart to know how my countrymen were treated. I've felt differently about the English ever since. I have great respect for them, but I don't completely trust them. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The "terrible beauty" that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emerald's Isle's fierce struggle for independence. Trinity is a saga of glories and defeats, triumphs and tragedies, lived by a young Catholic rebel and the beautiful and valiant Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join him. Leon Uris has painted a masterful portrait of a beleaguered people divided by religion and wealth--impoverished Catholic peasants pitted against a Protestant aristocracy wielding power over life and death.
