In sixth-century Ireland, books are rare treasures.

Aine, a young woman unwillingly pledged to marry, believes the book is a talisman with the power to change her circumstances. When she steals it from her betrothed’s clan, desperate to use it to help her mother’s impoverished people, events tumble out of control. She seeks help from Brigid, the woman who rescued her long ago, but doing so puts an entire monastery at risk as the king deploys his army to get the book back.

The formerly banished druid Ardan hopes the book can be traded for revenge, but a mysterious force curses him with a reoccurring mark in the shape of Brigid’s famous reed cross. Is it the power of a vengeful god or the command of the book that is causing his anguish?

While many seek to possess the book, it appears to choose who will hear its words. No one in Ireland will know the power of the words written on its pages if the book does not survive the battle.

Unique and Intriguing

Pages of Ireland, by Cindy Thomson, is about Aine, a young woman with wounds to heal who has no desire to belong to any man. Because of her independent spirit, she decides to embark on a journey to save her mother’s people with what she believes is a book of power. She seeks asylum at Brigid’s monastery to escape a betrothal. Brigid healed her once. Will she help her again?

Pages of Ireland is the second book of the Daughters of Ireland series. Even if you haven’t read Thomson’s first, Brigid of Ireland, there is a fair amount of background information. Thomson weaves an intriguing tale of sixth century Ireland, when the written word and those who could read it were rare, while legend and superstition ruled the day. With rich detail and characterization, Pages of Ireland is not just a story of the Irish people, but also of the spiritual battle being won for them against the lesser power of the druids, as well as their daily quest for survival. It’s a read that will leave you thinking and captivated by both Irish life in the Middle Ages and the work of St. Brigid.

I really enjoyed Briget of Ireland and was pleased to see this book arrive on the scene. I could feel Ann's pain and stuck with the story until the completely satisfying ending.

Love when an author stays true to the era and people they're writing about and make it a good story!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2017

One of my biggest pet peeves when authors decide to use real people and events from history in their fictional tales is when they change the essence of who those people were so really they’re only using the “celebrity” and not the truth.

Then you have wonderful authors like Cindy Thomson who are able to use their talented imaginations to create an entire fictionally based story around history but stick to the truth of the time and the people so well it’s nearly impossible to know where she begins and the past ends.

Thomson did a fantastic job in creating characters that breathe accuracy to the time and culture of ancient Ireland. Her dialogue, although it took some getting used to as she set the tone and sentence structure to the times, was easy to understand and follow. I loved how she created such a strong, intense character in Aine particularly since it’s most often that men get all the glory and focus in historical fiction even though countries like Ireland have a plethora of female heroes to choose from. Kudos to Thomson for showcasing some of that fierceness by creating a representation of that in Aine as she stood up to royalty, warriors and her peers for her beliefs.

I know most of what she created around Brigid was illusory but I liked that she kept true to the integrity of the person and what we know of her from the little that survived in Irish history. It helps to stay in the story when you don’t get angry at the author for having someone that well known do something they’d never do in a million years which only reminds you that you’re reading a book instead of getting immersed in a world different from your own.

Her plot line made sense, was straightforward and moved fairly quickly for a historical novel. I also felt it picked up from its predecessor really well although you really need to make sure you read the first book to truly appreciate the whole context of the second.

Thomson handled the burgeoning Catholicism and well-practiced Druidic faith evenly without coming off too biased one way or the other so it truly felt like a story being told in the context of that time; not an author with an agenda.

Overall I’d recommend this and its predecessor for anyone who likes to read about ancient Irish history. Although this is a work of fiction, and therefore it should not be taken as completely historically accurate, Thomson handled the past with grace and honor.

Another charming story of Ireland

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2017

Pages of Ireland is the second book in Cindy Thomson’s Ireland Series. Set in the Middle Ages, she continues her tales of how Christianity took root in Ireland. This novel focuses upon Aine, the girl Brigid saved in the last novel Brigid of Ireland. Cindy weaves Ireland legend and folklore into stories about early saints and missionaries in a way no one else has. I enjoyed Pages of Ireland even more than her first book in the series. I highly recommend it.
