It deals mostly with an Irish Catholic family but it also has some exceptionally kind British characters, too. There is absolutely nothing to be critical about. So, I was ready to be critical of Uris's book and research. ![]() I had read Tim Pat Coogan's The History of the IRA, an exceptional nonfiction study. It's a beautiful book and explains "The Troubles" and the IRA thoroughly. He wrote about other subjects, too, and honestly I did not expect much from Trinity. Uris wrote a lot about Jewish history and Israel. Trinity is a heartbreaker and actually very different from his usual genre. Trinity and The Source are my two favorite Uris books. Has anybody read it? I'm starting to but I'm not sure it's for me. This is a book about Ireland in the 1800. ![]() |
