This was a free e Book, which is probably why I read it - I don't read the genre very often but I had just read a cluster of murder mysteries, thrillers and police procedurals and my brain wanted a break. I'm glad, too, because otherwise I would have missed out on reading this enthralling book.All about Ireland's troubles in the last century, this fast moving book managed to weave together a story of political and class  divides which educates the reader about the struggles between the IRA and the English. There is a love story in there too, which I usually don't like but this tale of a modern day Romeo and Juliet furthered the tale in all the right ways.I think both fans of historical novels and readers of all genres would enjoy this interesting novel.
