"Aoife
of Leinster” is a historical fiction book by Sean J. FitzGerald. This
book tells the story of Aoife, an Irish noblewoman born in the
mid-1100s. This book tells her story in an interesting way - giving her a
voice to modern readers. It was interesting reading what the life of a
Gaelic king was like - someone who not only loved her family, but also
loved her home land - to the point of marrying a Norman, Richard de
Clare (better known as Strongbow). I enjoyed learning more about Aoife
and Ireland during those turbulent times. Do read the Author's Note and
I'm glad that there's a set of family trees included in this book. Four stars.
