This is perhaps the most beautiful, heart breaking book I've read. It is perfection. Every word carries meaning. I learned more about the Irish Tragedy from this slim volume than countless history books.

read for school. not very good. did a good job illustrating a few concepts about the irish rebellion but the characters were weak and the plot was a bit cliched.
