Publisher Notes
Recounts the interrelationships, clashes, and common concerns of the Catholic, hill-farming Larkins of Donegal, the aristocratic and British Hubbles, and the Scottish-Presbyterian MacLeods of Belfast during the years from the 1840s famine to the 1916 Easter Rising. Reprint.



Industry Reviews
"Uris is certainly not as good a writer as Pynchon or Barthelme or Nabokov; but he is a better storyteller....[His] novel sprawls, occasionally bores, meanders like a river. But when the story is finished the reader has been to places where he or she has never been before. The news items from Belfast will never seem quite the same again....Uris is writing for the gallery, and he clearly wants everyone to understand what he is saying. It is easy to comb the book for barbarisms or even ludicrous passages....And the [novel] ends in a dying fall, as though the subject had finally exhausted the writer. For all of that, the story has a kind of relentless power, based on the very real tragedy of Ireland, and Uris's achievement is that he has neither cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy."
