This is one of the select few on my bookshelves that I've bothered to read more than once (quite a feat, as the book is roughly 800 pages or so) and has got to be one of my top five, if not my absolute favorite book of all time. This is the first Uris book I read, and I became an instant fan. Leon Uris is a masterful story-teller who irrevokably draws you in to his tales, and this one is about 19th century Ireland in which several decades of Irish history are woven into the stories of threeI finally finished Trinity. It took a while not because it's a bad novel, nor its length - over 900 pages, but because the novel roiled my emotions. Of course I had studied the "Irish Troubles" in College, both in World history and in Theology. What the Catholic priests and Bishops did in Leon Uris's fictional account of the troubles did in fact happen. Uris' fictional account of that time in English/Irish history is wonderful. I can still see the Irish countryside and can catch a glimpse of
Having come to "Trinity" after a break of some twenty years since reading the Uris classics "Exodus," "Mila 18" and "Armageddon," it was a very pleasant surprise to be able to discover that old zest for life, that lusty undercurrent which marks his work and fills it with an unmistakable energy. At the same time, "Trinity" enabled me to discover something about my own Irish background, and put the perspective of history into a new position for me altogether. In fact, so tainted were we, some of
This novel tells story of the Irish history in the last half of the 19th century up until WWI through the eyes of the Catholics and the Protestants, the traditional Irish men and women and the British-Irish landowners, the Larkins and the Weeds/Hubbles. I was captivated by many of the characters and immersed in the unfolding historical overview. The Larkins, especially Connor, represent the Catholic poor who are basically fighting for survival and fighting against the many injustices forced upon
Sectarian violence in Ireland before partition. Like any so-called terrorist activity, it ended up with there being little to choose between the protagonists but the origin of this one was certainly down to the British, in the first place, and the Protestants in the second - and mainly down to the brutal treatment of the Catholic Irish during the potato famines. We think it's all over now; but sectarian hate takes a long time to fade.
When I was in the tenth grade, my favorite teacher of all time gave us the assignment to read four books by one of his six favorite authors. I chose Leon Uris. First I read EXODUS, then I read TRINITY, and then I fell in love... with Conor Larkin. *swoon*Although TRINITY is strictly historical fiction with no hint of magic, I really believe that readers of the OUTLANDER series would enjoy the character of Conor Larkin. If I could date a fictional character, he would--hands down--be the fictional
