At Swim, Two Boys: A Novel

Set during the year preceding the Easter Uprising of 1916 -- Ireland's brave but fractured revolt against British rule -- At Swim, Two Boys is a tender, tragic love story and a brilliant depiction of people caught in the tide of history. Powerful and artful, and ten years in the writing, it is a masterwork from Jamie O'Neill. Jim Mack is a naive young scholar and the son More »

[ 5.0 stars ] "I read this book years ago and picked it up again to read for a second time while on vacation. The story of the boys' relationship is lovely, particularly as it is set against the general poverty of their lives, but this time, it was the characterization of MacMurrough that got me. The older, wiser, but also melancholy and chastened man who serves as something of a mentor to them -- it is hi ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This is an incredibly powerful and important piece of literature - in my humble opinion. The naked honesty and the brutal circumstance the reader is forced to immerse themselves in is both disturbing and cathartic. I found I actually had to emerged from this book... in order to regain touch with the present and I did so with a greater appreciation for the struggle of the dauntless spirit of the ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "Our group voted this our favourite book of the year.There's a good description of place and time and where else would there be lulls in fighting for the Angelus?Doyler watching Jim undress says he is scrawny and nerves `make him poke up'. Water tracked the hair of his legs, he had a lithe and tanned body and calls Jim a little molly. `A chuck on the chin is worth two kisses, they say'T ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "It is a long read, but when I was comparing two print copies (U.K. and U.S. hardcovers) to the Kindle edition, I noticed that the short preludes to Part I and Part II are not included in the electronic version...would have returned Kindle edition for refund, had I acted sooner.Otherwise, yes it is a long read but has some plot elements that I did not anticipate...only halfway through at the moment ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "At its core, this is a love story. Two 16 year old boys, a college boy, Jim Mack and a laborer, Doyler Doyle, make a pact to practice swimming for a year so on Easter of 1916 (unknowingly to them a time of the Easter Rising and Irish rebellion), they will swim to a beacon of Muglins Rock. As their friendship develops, so do other, deeper feelings. But it is also much more than a love story. Mr. Ma ..." Courtesy by Amazon
