5.0 out of 5 stars an irish history lover's choice of history and romance 18 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
AS lover of anything Irish, and a recent visitor to Northern Ireland, I couldn't help but find myself back there again, seeing it thru the eyes of the characters of this book. The author has done a wonderful job of making the recent & far past history of this very historical part of the world come alive, and combining it with a very touching love story. thanks for the good read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtakingly wonderful! 28 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After reading IRISH LADY in one sitting, I sat down and read it again. This beautifully crafted work is much too special to be thought of as simply another romance novel. This story of Meghann, who escapes from her Belfast past to become a successful London attorney, and Michael, a former IRA soldier is both intense and ethereal. Both Meghann and Michael must come to terms with the past while securing their future together. Through the wisdom of Nuala O'Donnell, a 16th c. ancestor, Meghann reconciles herself to her heritage, her convictions, and her heart.

If you are unfamiliar with Irish nationalism, one read of this book will well acquaint you with it. You'll finally understand what Bono was saying when U2 recorded "Sunday, Bloody Sunday". Though Ms. Baker does take liberties with the history of the 16th c. (which she admits in her notes), her insight into modern Irish nationalist politics is right on target.

IRISH LADY is a truly wonderful book with realistic and vivid characters, a smart plot, and crisp writing. This is a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, exciting and enjoyable 15 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Unable to cope with the violence of West Belfast, Meghan McCarthy left to attend school in order to become a barrister. To accomplish her goal, she had to leave behind the man she loved, IRA member Michael Devlin, who felt the same way about her. Meghan becomes famous as a successful London attorney and even marries a renowned Englishman, who has since died.

No longer an IRA member, but currently an Sinn Fein leader, Michael is arrested for the murder of James Killingsworth, the man expected to be the next British Prime Minister. Listening to the plea of Michael's mother, Meghan agrees to defend him even though it seems that Michael has been set up to take the fall. Meghan and Michael soon realize that they still love each other, but can they overcome their past and an unknown enemy to explore a future together?

The renowned, award winning romance writer, Jeanette Baker, demonstrates why she is one of the best contemporary romance writers of the nineties with this poignant novel. Though a bit biased, IRISH LADY is a brilliantly designed mixing of a contemporary romance with a historical romance that cleverly compares the Northern Ireland problem of the late sixteenth century with the modern era.
