Gretta Curran Browne is an incredible historical fiction author--her books are based on real history and real people with tons of research behind them. She makes the characters come alive with so much passion and depth.
This book is about an Irish rebel named Robert Emmet, a privileged and talented young man who gives it all up for the freedom of his country. Fast-moving, with rich characters from all walks of life, full of intrigue, political struggle, and romance. Beautiful and enjoyable, the only downside to this book is that it doesn't have that neatly-packaged happily-ever-after.
