"I can honestly say it's one of the most enjoyable books that I've read for some time. I can't recommend it highly enough." - IRISH WORLD.>
"Outstanding! Truly breath-taking, heartrending and edge-of-your-seat exciting! That these stories spring from the lives of real people make them all the more riveting. I love historical novels and I love Ireland. Gretta Curran Browne brings these people to life and you can hardly turn the pages fast enough.". --- Karla Bynum, Amazon Reviewer.
When Michael Dwyer first dances with Mary Doyle on the night of the Spring Fair, many of the locals see their love story unfold before their eyes, a story so unique they will later tell it to their grandchildren.
Destined to be a farmer like his father before him, Michael loves the land, and is content to work in the fields and live of the yield, but in that same year of 1798 the militia, hated pawns of the English rulers in Dublin Castle, force him to leave the land and take to his beloved mountains where he becomes what every Wicklow youth dreams of being - a man who owns no master, a man who refuses to bend a servile knee.
Surrounded by a band of loyal friends, Michael outwits the militia and English at every turn. And always, standing somewhere amidst the green glens and beautiful landscape of Wicklow, is Mary Doyle, watching and waiting, caring nothing for patriotism and heroism, only for her love of the rebel captain, but love on the run cannot last forever.
Having walked the green glens of Michael Dwyer's native County Wicklow, Gretta Curran Browne - in this rigorously researched biographical historical novel - reveals the complexities and humanity of an extraordinary Irish rebel leader.
