The Nationalists

The 1916 Rising wasn't just military, but a cultural revolution too. It tells the story of a doomed love affair between a revolutionary journalist and a headstrong Kerry-born Cumann na mBan girl. The story also explores how the Catholic Church viewed the events of the day. Interweaving both factual and fictional characters, the story follows an eccentric array of characters. The Nationalists is the first book of a planned trilogy and Exile is the second book. A powerful tale of rebellion, love, redemption, and loss.
