review 1: This story is of a young Northern Irish woman who, inheriting a legacy of warriors, must come to terms with the burdens that legacy carries and find the strength within her that it brings. Spanning twenty years of her life, the book recounts Eileen O'Neill's struggles with the difficulties that come with war and poverty, including the loss of her family to murder, mental illness and hatred.She is torn between passion for a man who shares her rage and the comfort she finds with a man who has learned the price of giving into that rage. In the end, she must learn to find her strength not in her family's legacy or in her country's struggle but in the dreams and hopes of her own heart.
review 2: Another disappointing book! I love this time period and yet I didn't f... moreeel like we were in the 1910's-20's at all!!!! I didn't like any of the characters, the "history" bored me so I skimmed through most of it and unusually LOVE the history, hence my love for HISTORICAL fiction!I don't know... There was a lot of drama but it all tied up a little to nicely in the end.Eileen was mouthy and annoying, it was hard for me to believe that Owen would fall in love with someone like her.She was a terrible mother and that irritated me. All in all, this book failed miserably.PS, the other thing that bugged me was how nasty she was to all the people around her. Mostly, PJ and his wife! He was basically her driver! I would have told her to pound sand!! less
