I loved this novel. It is a compelling story about the legendary beginnings of the Irish people, blending the hypothesis that people from the Iberian peninsula migrated to Ireland with Irish fairy and other mythology. The author is terrific at evoking the past and creating people who are easy to care for and remember. She successfully made myth and fantasy completely plausible and realistic for me. I plan to read more by Morgan Llywelyn.
