About this listen

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)

A must read for those who wish to know the whys and the hows of the struggle of the Catholic Irish vs the rich, British aristocracy.
The harsh life, the humanity and inhumanity. It's all in there.

Got my Irish up.

Trinity manages to span the events from the 1840's Great Famine all the way through to the Easter Rising of 1916, taking this into consideration, I'm surprised it's only 900 pages. I loved how the author really immersed the reader within the lives and stories of these families, making all the struggles and triumphs all the more poignant as a result.

There's some truly heartbreaking moments in Trinity. I don't often cry when reading books but I cried about 8 times listening to this. I knew what I was in for with the subject matter, but the author did an incredible job with this that it will be one of those rare books never to leave me.

I did feel perhaps it was a bit biased at times, for such a complex situation. But I'm Aussie and really can't comment on that obviously. I'm interested to hear from my Irish friends as to their thoughts on this and any other aspects of the book they'd like to discuss.

Excellent historical fiction

I have made 3 attempts to read Trinity myself but it's a hard slog through first section. John Keating's awesome narration pulled me through the story to the gem of a heart-wrenching tale of the poor Irish peasant farmers and their road to independence. Great story with a fantastic narration.

Tough climb but worth the view into Irish history

I couldn't wait to get out for my walk or run to continue listening. Both the beauty and the tragedy of Ireland are wonderfully captured in the rich personal insights of Uris' characters and the timeless struggle against tyranny. A brilliant book, terrifically narrated.

Magnificent!
