Review title: A big disappointment
Product review: I loved Thomas Flannagan's novels, and read some of them more than once. The Rutherford books do not come close. With all of the historical drama from which to draw, it seems that it would be difficult to write a boring book about Irish history, however both of Rutherford's Irish saga books seem to fit that description. I have not been able to finish either. The characters seem to me to lack dimension, and their lives could have been set in Kansas or New Zealand as easily as in Ireland. I liked Sarum and London, so there seems to be a mis-match between the writer and his subject.
