The Scorching Wind cover

The third book in the acclaimed Irish trilogy

This is a vivid and memorable novel set in Dublin, 1916, during the Easter Rebellion and the bitter years which followed. Through the diverging lives of two young brothers the agony of Ireland during these harrowing times is witnessed.

It is the time of the Sinn Fein, of the dreaded Tans, of terrible deeds and of loyalties strained to breaking-point and beyond.

Told with pity and poetry and an impartiality almost unnatural in an Irishman writing of those seven desperate years. * Catholic Herald *
The long tale of terror and bravery, the arrests, the burnings, the ambushes, the reprisals is told with the deftness of a professional storyteller. * Irish Press *
