Negative Positive
Title: Great characters, great story, great historical backdrop.
Review: Llywelyn's characters, real and fictitious, came to life as breathing, feeling, genuine people whom I found interesting and sympathic. It's the best book about turn-of-the century Ireland that I've read yet. Two compelling stories collide at the end of the book -- a great plot. The first pages grip you as you learn, through the account of the main character, about the lives of the people who lost or were lost due to the sinking of the Titanic. Very clever intro -- I was held captive through the rest of the book.
