The struggle of the Irish people for independence is one of the
epic tales of the 20th century. Morgan Llywelyn has chosen it as
the subject of her major work, The Irish Century, a multi-novel
chronicle that began with "1916," and now continues in "1921," both
a story and a history. The two big historical names in "1921 "are
Eamon de Valera and Michael Collins, both famous, mysterious, and
familiar Irish figures.
The year 1921 is the year of the Irish Civil War and the year of
the separation of Ireland into two nations, south and north. The
central character is Henry Mooney, a journalist (based upon the
author's grandfather), who struggles for truth in his reporting
during the terrible conflict, and falls in love with an
Englishwoman in Ireland in the midst of political and military
horrors.
