By the time he can walk he's out robbing, begging, often cold, always hungry, but a prince of the streets. At fourteen, already six foot two, Henry's in the General Post Office on Easter Monday 1916, a soldier in the Irish Citizen Army, fighting for freedom. A year later he's ready to die for Ireland again, a rebel, a Fenian and soon, a killer. With his father's wooden leg as his weapon, Henry becomes a republican legend - one of Michael Collins' boys, a cop killer, an assassin on a stolen bike. An historical novel like none before it, A STAR CALLED HENRY marks a new chapter in Roddy Doyle's writing. It is a vastly more ambitious book than any he has written before. A subversive look behind the legends of Irish republicanism, at its centre a passionate love story, this is a triumphant work of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roddy Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52370282250522,"sku":"9780099282754","price":97.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/81LVaWuTZiL._SX679.jpg?v=1781780615","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/star-called-henry","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
