Set against early 20th-century Dublin, A Star Called Henry follows Henry Smart from life in the city’s slums to his emergence as a rebel fighter. His father, a one-legged brothel bouncer, leaves Henry to fend for himself with nothing but wit and survival instinct.
At just fourteen, Henry joins the Irish Citizen Army and takes part in the 1916 Easter Rising. From street robber to revolutionary, he navigates the violent campaign for Irish independence, grappling with loyalty, vengeance and unexpected love along the way.
Blending gritty realism with passionate storytelling, this epic novel offers a vivid portrait of Ireland’s turbulent history and a singular hero’s quest for meaning. Readers will appreciate its raw energy and richly imagined world.
