Book Review | Historical Fiction
Driven by her promise to her dying father, Maggie fights for equality and accessibility of education in this powerful tale of love and war in early 20th century Dublin.
I relished this immersive tale of love and the struggle for a better future, set against the Irish turmoil, the call for the Irish Republic and the social inequality of Dublinβs inhabitants: from the well-to-do who send their children to private schools and university to those living in poverty dependent on food banks.
