"Another page turner from Morgan Llywelyn. Highly researched and entertainingly written. I just love her mix of historical fact and fiction. Her writing style makes history fun!"
"If the rest of Morgan Llywelyn's Irish Revolution is a well crafted as 1972, then i am in for fascinating ride.
Her willingness to use historical figures with fictional figures colors this narritive with a nation's struggle to free itself from unwanted occupation. Not often does a reader get the chance to learn relevent historical events through the vehicle of fiction. You could argue Dan Brown, but he uses distortion or minipulation of facts to serve his purpose, where as Llywelyn places her fictional charcters along side the actual participants. She makes a great departure from the standard preface and dedicates the first fifteen pages to Dramatis Personae. It is a biographical cast listing of all the fictional and nonfictional figures that appear in this pecticular timeline. the end of the novel has source notes and a bibliography.
Barry Halloran is the novel's protaginist and he is a newspaper photographer who's father and grandfather(must read 1916, 1921, and 1949 to learn a grander perspective of those men)were Irish revolutionists. His narritive takes him from an adolescent living with his proud and nationlistic mother to unsettling manhood. It weaves him in and out of the IRA. It shows in stark detail the trauma and tragedy that befalls both sides of the divide."
