The Wild Geese is a novel of the mid-eighteenth century Ireland in letters, describing the struggles and adventures of the Catholic Kinross family and their Protestant Ahearne cousins. In Ireland, Catholics were not allowed to own land or do pretty much anything, which means that they are dependent on the good will of their Protestant friends and family to get by. Which is all well and good until someone gets greedy. Which is exactly what happens here. The author does a good job of expressing the kind of pressure that the British laws extracted on the Catholic population, even if the plot itself is a bit of a soap opera. Recommended for those with an interest in Irish historical fiction, Irish history, or epistolary novels. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
