Negative Positive
Title: Historical accuracy cannot overcome this poor novel.
Review: Although it is interesting to read about the historical background of the figures in the Easter rising, the contrived plot and relationships are outrageous. It's bad enough that the news media loves to publish every story about wayward priests, but please spare my having to read about it from an Irish author. Then the choice between the snooty girl and the prostitute just kills me. I would have expected much better than this. Trinity by Uris is far more realistic.
