She was willing to sacrifice everything for her country. He was willing to sacrifice everything for her

'Make a difference in the world, ' are the last words Maggie Gilligan's father ever says to her. They form a legacy that she carries in her heart, years later when, at the age of fifteen, she tries to better the lives of Dublin's largely forgotten poor.

'Don't go getting distracted, now, ' is what Daniel Healy's father says to him after seeing him talking to the same Maggie Gilligan. Daniel is more than distracted. He is intrigued. Never has he met anyone as dismissive, argumentative . . . as downright infuriating.

A dare from Maggie is all it takes. Daniel volunteers at a food kitchen. There, his eyes are opened to the plight of the poor. It is 1913 and Dublin's striking workers have been locked out of their jobs. Their families are going hungry. Daniel and Maggie do what they can. Soon, however, Maggie realises that the only way to make a difference is to take up arms.

The story of Maggie and Daniel is one of friendship, love, war and revolution, of two people prepared to sacrifice their lives: Maggie for her country, Daniel for Maggie. Their mutual sacrifices put them on opposite sides of a revolution. Can their love survive?

But this is not just a history lesson. This is a story about love and friendship. I fell in

Once again Denise brings us characters in colour, a wonderful peep inside the lives of ordinary Dubliners in the rising of 1916. This is a lovely read. It's about teenage love and will appeal to adults and children alike. I read Denise's books before I came to know her and to be fortunate to count her among my friends. Denise is a people person and a sensitive storyteller, and it shows in this book. Already I can't wait for her next work!I was given an advance copy of this book in exchange for

I love reading historical novels and this one didn't disappoint me. I have learned a lot about the Irish struggle for independence and the passionate people of Ireland. I gained insight into some of the problems between the Irish and the British. This isn't just the story of a romance between a young girl, and a young boy, it is also a story of their love for their country and also about the Easter uprising. It is history through the eyes of romance. The book is well written, with all of the
