About 1916:
"1916 - the insurrection which gave birth to an independent Ireland after centuries of struggle. This is a novel in the tradition of EXODUS! An ambitious book which only a novelist of Morgan Llywelyn's stature could have accomplished. Against a powerful backdrop, her characters, fictional and historical, enact their parts in a breath-taking story; a story of high drama and heroism, a story of human tragedy and degradation. This is the stuff of epic sagas and Morgan Llywelyn does not fail to fulfil our expectations. A tour de force!" - Peter Beresford Ellis, author of Hell or Connaaught, The Boyne Water, The Rising of the Moon"
"1916 is a terrific book. The portrait of Pádraic Pearse alone is worth the price of admission." - Thomas Fleming, author of Remember the Morning and Liberty!
"Llywelyn has made a remarkable literary journey over the years, writing brilliantly about the continental Celts, their migration to Ireland, Irish heroes of a millennia ago, and now the Easter Rising. Whether bringing to life the Celts of antiquity or their intrepid descendants who marched out to fight for an Irish republic, Morgan Llywelyn's prose career is enriched by an almost tactile feel for history. Best of all, Llywelyn's painstaking research gives this remarkable novelist an uncanny credibility when she suggests the must-have-beens of the chronicle of Ireland. Those qualities, added to her extraordinary prose, make 1916 a must-read." - Terence Folan, author of The Gold Sun Book of Irish Freedom."
"1916 is indeed an important work. The fact is that the Easter Rising did give rise to de jure Irish nationhood - and this work in novel form is important in establishing a healthy public understanding of how and why it did. Llywelyn has done more than anyone to bring the entire panorama of Irish history to life. In fact she has radically changed the American public perception of the past as it regards Ireland and her people." - John P. Flaherty, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
"A magnificent work. It borders on genius." - William Bulger, President, University of Massachusetts.
