The "terrible beauty" that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emerald's Isle's fierce struggle for independence. Trinity is a saga of glories and defeats, triumphs and tragedies, lived by a young Catholic rebel and the beautiful and valiant Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join him.

What you get is a story of Ireland's history through the 1800s and up to the beginning of the Great ...
I read this way back in high school. This is another one of those where I was surprised at a young age by how much I liked a book that was "hard to read." (For a youngster.) I've started some of Uris's other books and haven't liked any of them enough to continue.
