Publisher's Summary

Leon Uris’s beloved Irish classic

From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost - a magnificent portrait of a people divided by class, faith, and prejudice - an unforgettable saga of the fires that devastated a majestic land...and the unquenchable flames that burn in the human heart.

What the critics say

"Leon Uris uses history as the raw material for legend in his powerful novel Trinity, a tale packed with romance and adventure." (Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin)

"The story has a kind of relentless power, based on the real tragedy of Ireland, and Uris’s achievement is that he has neither cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy." (New York Times Book Review)

"An honest Irish story, emotional, full of...tales of Irish heroes and fools, of God, fear and superstition, of love and hatred, poverty and greed." (San Diego Union-Tribune)

Tour de force of the Irish Troubles

I knew relatively little of Ireland and its political struggles between the Protestants and Catholics. No more. This epic novel covers about thirty years of a small group of Irish characters. From childhood and young adulthood until their mid-forties and beyond. The story is deep and broad and does a wonderful job of carefully delving into the culture and religion of the Catholics and Protestants while building up to the conflict that rages in the 20th century. This story takes place from the mid-1880s through to the end of WW1.

The main characters are developed magnificently. You care/loath about them all and at times, it feels as though you're right there in a quaint Irish village or urban slum. It's visceral.

The story is long, which is ok because you care about the characters and their lives. The narration is superb in every way. My one gripe is that the end of the book feels rushed. Major characters get short shrift, but when it did end, I was relieved because most of the storylines ended satisfactorily.

If you're interested in modern day Ireland in any way or just enjoy a compelling story, I highly recommend this listen.

The good, Bad and Ugly

I am afraid that this was the longest performance I have ever endured. I found at times it dragged on in a manner that caused the mind to wonder. Great story well presented but too drawn out.

Whew glad it’s done.
