Reviews

[Cara Byrne]

Only 20 pages in and it's a DNF from me.
This is only my personal choice though as it was in very small print and far too heavy on the brain with lots of quotes from people but my husband really enjoyed it.

[Amos Kennedy · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyably detailed exploration of the remarkably short, though accomplished life that Collins lead. Undeniably hagiographic & presents de Valera in a particularly petty light throughout.
