1999

The Irish Century concludes in this climactic novel; Llywelyn's masterpiece is completeThe Irish Century series is the story of the Irish people's epic struggle for independence through the tumultuous course of the twentieth century. Morgan Llywelyn's magisterial multi-novel chronicle of that story began with 1916, which was followed by 1921, 1949, and 1972. It now concludes with 1999: A Novel of the Celtic Tiger and the Search for Peace. 1999 brings the story from 1972 to the disarmament talks and beginnings of reconciliation among the Irish at the end of the twentieth century. Barry Halloran, strong, clever, and passionately patriotic, who was the central character of 1972, remains central. Now a crippled photojournalist, he marries his beloved Barbara Kavanaugh, and steps back from the armed struggle. Through his work he documents the historic events that take us from the horrific aftermath of Bloody Sunday through the decades of The Troubles to the present. This is a noble conclusion to an historical mega-novel that will be read for years.The Irish Century Novels1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion1921: The Great Novel of the Irish Civil War1949: A Novel of the Irish Free State1972: A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution1999: A Novel of the Celtic Tiger and the Search for PeaceAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
