The masterly epic The Irish Century continues in 1949, a sequel to 1916 and 1921. Llywelyn's new novel tells the story of Ursula Halloran, a fiercely independent young woman who comes of age in the 1920's. She experiences the tumult of the times in a way that brings those days vividly alive for every reader. The tragedy of the Irish civil war gives way in the 1920s to a repressive Catholic state led by Eamon de Valera. Married women cannot hold jobs, divorce is illegal, and the IRA has become a band of outlaws still devoted to and fighting for a Republic that never lived. The Great Depression stalks the world, and war is always on the horizon, whether in Northern Ireland, Spain, or elsewhere on the European continent. Ursula, the adopted daughter of a revolutionary, Ned Halloran, remains an idealist believing in Ireland. She works for the fledgling Irish radio service and then for the League of Nations, while her personal life is torn between two men: an Irish civil servant and an English pilot. One is too much a gentleman, and the other too much a scoundrel. 1949 is the story of one strong woman who lives through the progress of Ireland from a broken land to the beginnings of a modern, independent state. 485 pages, paperback
