David Gaughran

Larger than life, Lee Christmas was a man loved and hated, sometimes both by the same person. This novel went deeper than mere historical facts, and pulled the reader into the life stream of one of the craziest and most daring men of his day. He loved deeply, punished himself when he fell short of his obligations, and dared to dream of reaching greatness. David Gaughran did a wonderful job showing the man while remaining reverent to the history. The battle scenes during the revolts, the carousing and family scenes, all spilled across the page vibrantly - keeping the reader entertained. I recommend this book for anyone who likes a good historical fiction and larger than life characters.… (mehr)

Heartfelt drama- in the moment - Irish tale

If you love to read true characters who reflect historic moments, look no further. This tale in many ways is too true, as we walk the Irish streets and hear, smell and feel the anguish of the times, as well as the hope for a better future. This is also a romance, new love struggles for a breath, while conflict tears them apart.

I am looking forward to book two to learn what unfolds for the Liberty Boy, hoping for some splinter of happiness from within the gaps of reality.

This book is Very well written, vivid and engaging - definitely a page turner.… (mehr)
