5.0 out of 5 stars
Irish Gunman on the Run,
By A Customer
This review is from: Silver's City (Paperback)
We've been inundated with movies and books about the IRA gunman on the run, all very romanticised. Silver's City is about Silver, a Protestant "hardman", sprung out of internment and in hiding from a civil war he no longer understands. In confinement with his conscience and opposite numbers (the IRA), he has become a political apostate and once released a target for his own terrorist kind. This would make a great movie, but it appears Holywood thinks only Catholics are "sexy". This novel gives a picture of the Protestant side and shows how "Irish" they are too. It won the 1981 Whitbread Prize, so is a clear 5 Star novel, a classic of this sad time.
