Permalink  

I'm reading "The Dublin Saga" by Edward Rutherfurd, a two-volume historical novel that begins in pre-Celtic times, then traces Dublin from when it was a family farmstead, down through its civil war in the 1920's. It's the geneology of two families and their offshoots. Rutherfurd is a master at this ("Russka", "Sarum", about England; "London", and, most recently, "New York". If you like getting your history along with some sex and a lot of violence, this beefy 1,500 page turner is for you.

"The Princes" and "The Rebels" are what make up "The Dublin Saga".

Bronx,

Sounds like an interesting saga. You will have to give us a brief review when you are done.
