I dint know Ireland had its own independence struggle. Growing up, I always thought Great Britain consists of Ireland, Scotland and England. Never realized, Irish people had their own fight for freedom.
All these years, i have read stories about Titanic and other times when people left Ireland to escape being bonded labourers and potato blight. But never read about the Easter rising and Irish struggle for independence.
Amy Harmon's this story, throws light on that part of Irish history I was totally unaware of. Amy also mixes up time travel into this. What if you go back in time and able to see how the struggle happened? What if you dont have to write a historic novel - but bring in love and romance in that along with the way you read about History ?
And another take away is dont have any rules. Most of the time-travel books i have read would have some ground rules - about loving in the other time and how it would change the history/ future. But Amy did not worry about any of those. And she worte a book where lovers go bank and front in time. And she gave a happy ending too. Thats all the more welcome!
I had to read it in one sitting - couldnt, and got obsessed. I was glad to be able to listen and read.
Its a really nice book i have read in recent days.
