About this title

Review:

"A brilliant storyteller..."Redemption" is without equal this summer when it comes to solidly enjoyable reading."-- "Irish Voice"

From the Back Cover:

As begun in the bestseller 'Trinity', Leon Uris continues his mighty epic of love and loss in Ireland’s journey towards independence.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of increased unrest in Ireland and a world about to be pitched headlong into the nightmare of the First World War, 'Redemption' follows the stirring fates of three great families – the Larkins, the Weed-Hubble clan and the Fitzpatricks – whose passions, battles and loves are intimately tied to the history of Ireland herself.

The narrative ranges powerfully from the majestic mountains of New Zealand to the shipyards of Belfast, the deserts of Egypt and the disaster of Gallipoli, climaxing in a dangerously unpredictable Ireland and the Easter Uprising of 1916.

'Redemption' is a magnificent novel from one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

“Uris is a master at weaving historical fact and fiction”
LIFE

“'Redemption' rivals the best of his earlier work. Few writers who have tackled the Troubles have exhibited the scope or the ... skills Uris demonstrates here.”
