The princes of Ireland [the Dublin saga]

The saga begins in tribal, pre-Christian Ireland during the reign of the kings at Tara, with the taleof two lovers, the princely Conall and the ravishing Deidre, whose travails cleverly echo the ancient Celtic legend of Cuchulainn. From there is an imagined journey down the centuries.
