Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Superbly crafted...Myth and archetype are all over the place in The Promise of Light, as real as the craving for independence or the hills of Connemara." --The Boston Globe

"Watkins is a territic writer...His books are lucid, intelligent and shamelessly entertaining, written in lean, evocative prose and displaying an uncommon delight in storytelling." --Washington Post Book World

"A full-fashioned romantic...Watkins is aware of every burning cottage, every hedgerow ambush, every body thrown on the road - of the powerful emotional magic of that distance scene." --The New Yorker

"Plaintive, beautifully realized." --The Chicago Tribune

"The Promise of Light is that rare find, an action-packed book written in prose as sharp as the crack of rifle fire, as evocative as the smell of burning peat." --The Providence Journal

Reseña del editor:

A young American man searches for his family's past amidst the earliest days of the Irish Troubles.
