Rising of the Moon
A beautiful, impassioned Zionist, a rising young politician, and an Irish rebel set sail from Boston harbor in a ship loaded with guns and ammunition to play their part in the Irish rebellion of Easter Sunday, 1916. Rich in historical detail, The Rising of the Moon gives us a Boston teeming with life and spirit, a Boston invigorated by the influx of immigrants, people like the Irish, all fighting for a place in the new world. Martin is an accomplished writer, effectively contrasting these Irish Americans with their kin in the old country, kept alive by the spirit of a centuries-old rebellion: two groups that for all their differences, unite for a common cause. This is a stimulating and moving tale, full of action and passion, and sure to have wide appeal. Recommended.
