Irish Gold (Nuala Anne McGrail Novel S.) - Tapa blanda

"Drawing from the letters of Michael Collins, Greeley portrays the Irish leader as romantic, sensitive, introspective, and also tough." "A first-rate adventure story." "A tale of young love and faith that very well may open Greeley''s work to a generation of new readers." -Father Greeley has given great attention to the role of imagination in the life of faith. What he is doing is re-evangelizing the imagination, using fiction to address the faith and the mysteries of the faith. That's an extraordinarily significant project.- --Cardinal Francis George, archbishop of Chicago -Nobody has ever left the church because of an Andrew Greeley novel, but many have been attracted back to it by him.- --Reverend Ron Rolheiser, O.M.I. -Michael Collins is now recognized as the lost leader of the 20th century. If he had lived, it is probable that Collins could have ended the Irish troubles. He had the vision and leadership skills to stop the killing and bring all parties to the negotiating table. Drawing from the letters of Collins, Greeley portrays the Irish leader as romantic, sensitive and introspective. Greeley's Collins is also tough.- --Chicago Sun-Times on Irish Gold -A tale of young love and faith with a cast of characters, Irish and American, that very well may open Greeley's work to a generation of new readers.- --Chicago Tribune on Irish Gold -A first-rate adventure story.- --Baltimore Sun on Irish Gold "Father Greeley has given great attention to the role of imagination in the life of faith.

Nuala Anne McGrail, a student at Dublin's Trinity College, is beautiful in the way a Celtic goddess is beautiful - not that Dermot Michael Coyne of Chicago has ever seen one of those - unless you count his grandmother Nell, who left Ireland during the troubles, and who would never tell why she left. Somebody else remembers, though - or why else would Dermot be set upon by thugs? Dermot has returned to Ireland to learn just why Nell left - but the answer may kill him, for his quest is linked to the current peace talks between Ireland and England, as well as to the bloody history of the years 1919 - 1923. Soon the irresistible and very canny Nuala seems all that stands between Dermot and death. But Dermot's all that protects Nuala, too. And unless they can unravel the secrets of Nell's youth, not only their lives, but hopes for peace in Northern Ireland, may be imperilled.
