Under the Wild Sky

This was mostly about a girl named Ellen who grew up in a war named Ireland. We watch her have two kids and lose someone. It was sad because you want to relate to this character. It was a good book too. This book. Wa approved by netgalley and the publisher for me to read and review.

A very enjoyable novel! The author weaves Irish history (very beginning of the XIXth century) through the characters' lives: whether they are involved or not in political dealings, the reader experiences what it was like to live in these unruly days. I enjoyed the characters, because they felt real (no superheroes in this novel) which makes the story very credible. Interesting historical background covering Ireland's political situation and position up until the end of WWI. I will definitely read the next book in this series!
I received a complimentary ARC of this novel from NetGalley and I am leaving voluntarily an honest review.

'A saga of love and war in Revolutionary Ireland'

This describes it perfectly. I love a good book about Ireland and its people and this one didn't disappoint. This is the story of Ellen Healy, her life, her love, her dreams. But it isn't all that easy.

The story takes you on her journey, and it is an emotional journey, one filled with family, love, war, freedom and making choices. There is history, great characters, politics and so much more in this book. It really does draw you into the lives of these people and the problems of the times.

A great read and one I enjoyed for its history, depth and characters.
