Redemption
“Uris is to the twentieth century what Charles Dickens was to the nineteenth.”
—
Associated Press
“[Uris pulls] all his characters together like a master puppeteer…Vivid and engrossing…. Uris has created some interesting characters…and given them plenty of reasons to love and hate one another.”
—
Chicago Tribune
“He us a master at combining with research and historical detail…. Compelling descriptions…[with] three of the most exceptional female characters ever to appear in a Uris novel…. When you turn that last page, it will have been worth your while.”
(San Diego)
Blade Citizen
“A master at weaving historical fact and fiction.”
—
USA Today
“Invites the reader in for a few hundred pages around the fire to hear the sprawling saga of the Larkin family, a turn-of-the-century Irish clan…Fortunately for the happy-go-lucky reader, Mr. Uris knows how to keep a book on the best-seller list for 100 weeks at a time…. It’s all quite fun and colorfully portrayed…The result is a thoroughly readable, insightful saga that lingers long after the book itself is put down.”
—
Washington Sunday Times
“As always, Uris deftly manages a cast of hundreds and propels his narrative along at a swift and satisfying pace. Uris and
Redemption
deserve another long sojourn on the best-seller lists.”
—
The Chattanooga Times
“The narrative clips along…rivaling the best of his earlier work. Few writers who have tackled the Troubles have exhibited the scope or the skills Uris demonstrates here.”
