Fenian's Trace is the tale of two lads raised as brothers in the west of Ireland during the early 1900s. Though they choose different paths when the rebellion comes, they both take a fancy to the spirited and alluring Maria upon her homecoming from America. It's a story told by Mr. Clancy, a gruff old Limerick publican who fancies himself as yet another in that grand tradition of Irish storytellers, though one who refuses to let his gentle inebriation or any distractful facts trouble his telling. It's a story of secrets and sacrifice, fathers and sons, love and loyalty. It's an Irish story.

Listened to the audio book on the way to Ireland on Aer Lingus. I only finished 6 chapters on the flight so I had to buy for my Kindle to read the remainder. I'm sure reading it in rural County Wexford added to the charm but you'll find it enjoyable regardless of where you might be turning the pages. A truly engaging read of a troubled time filled with cruelty and sadness thankfully overshadowed by loyalty and courage. I loved it!Product details

Fenian Trace (Audible Audio Edition) Sean P Mahoney Liam Carney Fenian Productions Books Reviews
The story of two boys raised as brothers in early 1900s Ireland is one of rebellion, hard choices, loss, and most of all love. The first several chapters really set the stage for what's to come. The author does a great job of incorporating major events of the time into the story, and immersing the reader into the culture. I couldn't put it down - highly recommended!
If you’ve never cozied up with a book and a warm Guinness, now is the time. This magical tale weaves the rich strands of Ireland’s history into the coming-of-age story of two young boys. It’s a story of love, family, sacrifice and redemption, filled with unexpected twists, turns and surprises. If you start, I have just one warning you may be a couple of pints to the wind by the time you’re done. But it’s well worth the sacrifice!
Fenian's Trace is an outstanding well written historical fiction story by Sean P. Mahoney. Through its pages we learn of one small village's struggles with the British occupation of Ireland leading up to the Easter Rebellion and ultimately Ireland's independence in 1921.
The story begins in 1901 Limerick with two young brothers who desire to do nothing more than hitch a ride on a canal boat carting barrels of Guinness. As the years roll by, they eventually succeed in riding on that boat and along the way they meet some very interesting men who enjoy telling stories of Irish heroes and legends. As teens, their interests start to veer in different directions and they fall in love with the same girl. Eventually they choose different paths dealing with the rebellion.One passionately acts out against the English occupation (like all of the great legends before him), and the other takes the path of a pacifist, all the while remaining loyal and true to his family and the other villagers. It goes without saying that sacrifices are made which are utterly heartbreaking. [The last 1/3 of the book is truly moving and brought me to tears more than once.]
I listened to the audible version of Finian's Trace narrated by Liam Carney, who is a well known and resepected actor. His warm husky voice and gravely tones were ideal to portray a gruff old Limerick pub owner who enjoys the grand tradition of Irish storytellers. I enjoyed it so much, I hope someone from Hollywood reads it and makes a movie out of it, like they did with Frank McCourt's Angela Ashes in 1999. In summary, I higjly recommend this book!
Picked this up on flight back from Ireland and purchased as soon as I landed.Narration is second to none. Could not set it down.
Beautifully written good story
