Katrina1968 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I tell you, sometimes its like Christmas on my bookshelf! Great Celtic read. You REALLY feel as though your right there. By Morgan Llywelyn King, warrior, and lover Brian Boru was stronger, braver, and wiser than all other men--the greatest king Ireland has ever known. Out of the mists of the country's most violent age, he merged to lead his people to the peak of their golden era. His women were as remarkable as his adventures: Fiona, the druidess with mystical powers; Deirdre, beautiful victim of a Norse invader's brutal lust; Gormlaith, six-foot, read-haired goddess of sensuality. Set against the barbaric splendors of the tenth century, this is a story rich in truth and legend-in which friends become deadly enemies, bedrooms turn into battlefields, and dreams of glory are finally fulfilled. Morgan Llywelyn has written one of the greatest novels of Irish history. Quote

Katrina1968 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 I really think you'll enjoy this book. After I finished it, it was like coming out of a dream, so realistic, so rich in characters and the settings were breathtaking. Quote
Anika Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Katrina! I've looked at this book several times, but never bought it...... Wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but it sounds like a good story. I'll have to get a copy soon. Quote
Amika Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Sounds like a great book. I saw several other reviews saying it was amazing. I just ordered it on my paperback swap site. Quote

It's a pity it doesn't exist in French, it'd have been easier for me ^^ Could someone tell me if the language is rather easy or will I have to read it with a dictionary next to me? Quote
