ExodusUris, Leon
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
The "terrible beauty" that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emeralds Isle's fierce struggle for independence. Trinity is a saga of glories and defeats, triumphs and tragedies, lived by a young Catholic rebel and the beautiful and valiant Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join him. Leon Uris has painted a masterful portrait of a beleaguered people divided by religion and wealth--impoverished Catholic peasants pitted against a Protestant aristocracy wielding power over life and death.
"Uris is certainly not as good a writer as Pynchon or Barthelme or Nabokov; but he is a better storyteller....[His] novel sprawls, occasionally bores, meanders like a river. But when the story is finished the reader has been to places where he or she has never been before. The news items from Belfast will never seem quite the same again....Uris is writing for the gallery, and he clearly wants everyone to understand what he is saying. It is easy to comb the book for barbarisms or even ludicrous passages....And the [novel] ends in a dying fall, as though the subject had finally exhausted the writer. For all of that, the story has a kind of relentless power, based on the very real tragedy of Ireland, and Uris's achievement is that he has neither cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy."
