Publisher's summary

Leon Uris’s beloved Irish classic

From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost - a magnificent portrait of a people divided by class, faith, and prejudice - an unforgettable saga of the fires that devastated a majestic land...and the unquenchable flames that burn in the human heart.

Critic reviews

"Leon Uris uses history as the raw material for legend in his powerful novel Trinity, a tale packed with romance and adventure." (Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin)

"The story has a kind of relentless power, based on the real tragedy of Ireland, and Uris’s achievement is that he has neither cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy." (New York Times Book Review)

"An honest Irish story, emotional, full of...tales of Irish heroes and fools, of God, fear and superstition, of love and hatred, poverty and greed." (San Diego Union-Tribune)

This Narrator is excellent.

I’m an Irish man with a strong Irish Broge (so I’ve be told a lot) and I’ve lived in America for 20 years now. The reason I say that is because the narrator John Keating is in a league of his own not does he just do an Irish accent but he does the accent of all different parts of Ireland Northern and southern. He also does accents of the Scots and the English both male a female he makes this book come alive. Trinity the book I only heard about when I emigrated to America20 years ago and have loved since. I read it first which was amazing so when I saw it was on audible I jumped at it. Mr Keating makes a good book a brilliant book. Hopefully I can find other books he’s reading knowing I won’t be disappointed.

Wonderfully Captivating

Early on when Seamus felt compelled to say the Rosary with true feeling. years ago, in the late 70's I read this book. It was the first book I'd ever laughed aloud while reading. Uris is a masterful story teller.

Excellent

Leon Uris never let me Trinity was a great historical fiction book about Ireland, which I have a huge thirst for.

Great book. Great story.

This was a fabulous book. The characters were terrific and the story compelling.

I hope there will be an unabridged version to its sequel “Redemption” soon.

Thanks.

finally a new rendition of the best book ever

John Keating intones Uris' book with a true Irish narration. I actually own the 1978 version and have listened to it 10 times. This is the eleventh. The book covers and uncovers the Irish story. Cant wait to get Redemption read by Keating as well. Unfortunately I am at the end of this eleventh reading and will have to let a year or so go by before number 12

Heartbreaking in the best way

Prepare yourself to fall in love, and mourn the death of the fictional men you cannot help but be proud of.

Blessed be the plight of the Irish people

Uris is a monster writer, and this his masterpiece! I loved this book as much as my Dad told me I would.

The Irish

Thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Irish catholics... better Understanding of their battle for recognition and freedom.

The words live

The narration the best ever. I love audio books but this the best of all!

Finally!!

One of the all time great historical fiction epics and with good narration. Not to be missed.
