Description
Ned Halloran's life was forever changed when he lost both parents in the Titanic disaster. Now, at 15, he returns to Ireland and enrolls at Saint Edna's school in Dublin. There, he becomes deeply involved with Patrick Pearse, the headmaster who is soon to lead a remarkable rebellion. As Ned witnesses the growing revolution, he learns about the sacrifices it demands. Through his eyes, Morgan Llywelyn explores the Irish fight for freedom, inspired by poets and schoolteachers, fueled by a desire for independence, and played out in Dublin's historic streets against the backdrop of World War I. This novel examines the brave men and women who, for a few unforgettable days, resisted the might of the British Empire.
