About This Item
Vintage Canada. Very Good+. 2000. Paperback. 0676973175 . Trade Paperback in Very Good++ condition. A solid binding with a bright, unmarked text. Light spine creasing, with moderate cover wear. "On a broad canvas that takes us from the turn of the century, he paints a passionate love story that is also a vivid political saga and a subversive look behind the legends of Irish republicanism. Its protagonist is Henry Smart, son of a one-legged whorehouse bouncer and settler of scores. As soon as he can walk, Henry becomes a prince of the streets, robbing, begging and charming his way. At fourteen, he's a soldier in the Irish Citizen Army, and a year later he's ready to die for Ireland again as a rebel killer. Armed with his father's wooden leg, Henry becomes a republican legend, one of Michael Collins' boys, a cop killer, an assassin on a stolen bike, a lover." ; 7.90 X 5.10 X 1.30 inches; 352 pages .
