About this listen

Described by one reviewer as "bloody accurate", The Nationalists is an Irish story set against the bloody backdrop of the 1916 Easter Rising, the War of Independence, and the Irish Civil War.

From the author of The Scribe, The Soaring Spirit, Kolbe, and Land of Our Father comes a sweeping new novel that spans the turbulent years in Irish history - 1916 to 1923.

The 1916 Easter Rising wasn't just a military rising, but a cultural revolution too. The Nationalists tells the story of a doomed love affair between a revolutionary journalist and a headstrong Kerry-born Cumann na mBan girl. The story also explores how the Catholic Church viewed the events of the day. Interweaving both factual and fictional characters, the story follows an eccentric array of characters.

The Nationalists is the first book of a planned trilogy. A powerful tale of rebellion, love, redemption, and loss.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish the story. Just didn’t really flow very well for me and felt more like a documentary at times than a story and the narration didn’t flow very well with little distinction between characters.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

You will feel the the emotion of the Irish people at the this time in history,anger, fear and oh yes hope.
The historical facts are good and the fiction is about individuals lives. Pat O'Brien's narration is good and made the book very listenable.
