Overview

A Star Called Henry follows Henry Smart, born into Dublin’s slums in 1901, as he grows from street thief to a young revolutionary. Set against the Easter Rising and the early War of Independence, the narrative mixes street-level grit with the larger sweep of Irish political conflict.

With unflinching detail and vivid urban voice, the book examines identity, loyalty, violence and survival amid social upheaval. It balances coming-of-age intensity with historical scope.

Recommended for readers of historical fiction and Irish literature who want a raw, panoramic portrait of early 20th-century Dublin.

  • Setting: Dublin, 1900s–1920s
  • Themes: rebellion, coming-of-age, urban poverty

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
