Dublin: a city founded as much on folklore and mythology as on stone; a meeting point of pagan tradition and Christian belief; a city which grew from a small Celtic village to a bustling urban settlement under the Vikings and became, even before the Plantagenet kings arrived in the twelfth century, effectively the capital city of the Island. Edward Rutherfurd, the bestselling author who brought the city of London to life, returns with this magnificent novel That'spans centuries from the Celtic warlords and pagan gods who were 'glossed' into historical persons by the increasingly Christian-orientated Celtic tradition, to the potato famine, and finally to Irish independence in the twentieth century. Told in Rutherfurd's unique voice, this compelling novel entwines fact and fiction to create a faithful portrait of Dublin's fascinating past and vibrant present.
"Expertly researched, full, undemanding and highly readable account of a place he has grown to know well" -- Maeve Binchy Ireland on Sunday "The author writes with a charm and an authority that comes from considerable research this is a really handsome book" Irish Independent "The author bounds excitedly through Irish history, interweaving narrative with historical encounters... Rutherfurd keeps racing through the pages" Daily Express "Sublime talent... this is history with a human face and a fanciful soul" Good Book Guide
