‘An international bestseller. And with good reason. The sweeping tale, which dates back to 1910, follows three friends growing up in the hills of Co. Cork, Ireland . . . As the story unfolds and rebellion breaks out across the country, the friends’ three lives intertwine in ways both tender and tragic. Impossible to put down.’
