From the author of the National Book Award—winning An American Requiem and the classic bestseller Constantine's Sword comes the story of Colman Brady, an Irish farmer who involves himself in the Irish rebellion of the early 1920s and later escapes to Boston where he rises to and falls from political power and seeks a second chance through the life of his son.
Richly imagined scenes, a complex plot and masterful writing combine fact and fiction, characters like Mayor Curley of Boston and the Kennedys come to life in this classic saga of Irish-America as seen through the eyes of one revolutionary as he makes the daring choices that will shape his, and his son's, fate.
