Liked it, especially knowing the area it is based.

Good book even if you do not know the area, but if you do you will enjoy it even more.

I especially enjoyed it because I recently visited sleepy hollow in New York and recognize some of the places described which still exist to this day.

I downloaded it because it was free and seemed somewhat interesting. I learned so much about the culture and norms of that area of the world. I'm glad I downloaded it, as it's increased my interest on the subject.

As someone that had very little knowledge of Ireland beyond its geography, I found this book sufficiently detailed enough to quench my interest in having a full understanding of the history, but objective enough that I could take the wording on a topic and intuitively understand that there was probably some VERY strong opinions slanted one way or the other on the incident.  That would be secondary reading.  There was opportunity to frame the progression differently and make it easier to digest, but the overall flow was well written and kept my interest.

Coming from this area, and familiar with the "life" I found this well told. I'm proud of Victoria . I look forward to reading her other works.

I was taken in by the story and also the location. I  grew up in this area and remember the events my parents related to reminded me how difficult it was then.

An easy read.  I am familiar with the area where it takes place so it was easy to follow.  The inter action with the characters was interesting.

I enjoyed it. Obvious that the author did a lot of research to get the period and location details right.

I visited the area before I read this book and fell in love with the beauty of the area. I even considered retiring there. However, after reading this book, I will have to find another place. While the book is somewhat technical, it presents the material in an interesting and easy to understand way. It is certainly a scenario that is not highly publicized and I can see why. It may never happen but then again who knows when it will. The author did a good job of laying out all the facts. I highly recommend the book.

Having grown up in those cities, during that the same time as the story, I found it fun to relate to locations, activities, life styles, morals etc.  Much of the tale is based on true facts as I know them.  Other things were unknown to me.  I did enjoy reading it.
