Yes, my understanding is that this first book can stand alone. It gets great reviews. It was originally a short story that won awards for the author as an emerging Irish voice. He then developed the concept into a novel which became an Irish best-seller. It’s an historical trilogy. The three books follow different periods in Irish history through the life of the main protagonist and expanding to other characters. I am glad that through the nomination process I was able to discover a new author. I also discovered new book awards that have led me to some good finds for my TBR.
