Recenzii

'grey areas of life are well explored and Gallagher introduces ethical, moral, social and gender issues without polarisation - the notion of life often being a 'contest of two or more rights' is well presented ... Gallagher's historical research is sound -- Inis Magazine 'a vivid portrayal of a torn city and divided loyalties' 'perfect historical fiction read for ages 10 years+' -- Primary Times 'gripping ... a great Christmas stocking filler ... a perfect accompaniment to historical studies' -- Woman's Way 'riveting' -- Sunday Independent 'gripping right from its first page' -- Evening Echo 'A 'hold your breath' story ... that's one of the great things about both Brian's books - they are set in the past, but they are set in a real and still recognisable Dublin ... Like most people my age (and no, I'm not telling!) I grew up reading books set -- Dublin Public Libraries website 'Gallagher writes well evoking the period and the characters in an accessible and believable way. This is a great way to introduce children to history and bravely tackles a subject that many historians shy away from.' -- Books Ireland 'Gripping right from its first page ... surpasses it [Across the Divide] in dramatic action and storytelling skill' -- Evening Echo 'the themes of loyalty, friendship and the class divide are dealt with thoroughly against the vivid historical backcloth' -- School Librarian Magazine 'an involving, exciting read ... a first class adventure' -- Carousel Magazine
