If you love to read about history, if you love Ireland and would enjoy reading a novel that depicts Irish History with drama and mystery; then this would be a great book for you to check out! The main character, Margaret gets involved in Ireland's fight, while dealing with an unfaithful new husband and all the terror involved with becoming a female Rebel fighting for a cause. This book is full of mystery, fighting for Ireland, history of Ireland, and drama of an unfaithful marriage.For the Love of Ireland is a novel of love, deception, loyalty and the history if the Irish Land League. The author’s character development is good and the subject matter is fascinating. The story is well-written and fast paced, it keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end.I usually prefer a lighter read, and this one has a lot of real life drama, as well as historical information about Ireland and the main characters in the novel. I love learning more about Ireland and found the story itself to very dramatic and intriguing.This is not a book for younger readers. I recommend it for ages 18 and older. I won a copy of "For The Love Of Ireland" from Goodreads and was excited to journey through Ireland's unsteady political landscape with a determine woman. What struck me immediately about the novel was the overly simplistic writing. I actually checked online to see if I had mistakenly entered to win a copy of a young adult novel. I couldn't figure out whether this book was intended for adults, but I find it highly doubtful that anyone above middle school would enjoy this novel. The events in the story were happening too quickly and without much consideration, which required little thought or consideration by the reader. This book was not was I was expecting and was well below the reading level that I enjoy, and so for those reasons, I stopped reading it.

This is the story of the Clan na Gael as well as Irish Land League which occurred in the 1880's.

I like the historical setting but the characters were unconvincing

Couldn't finish it. Too romance-ey, not enough history-ey.

Very average writing. Not very likeable characters.
