Redemption Falls Summary

Redemption Falls by Joseph O'Connor

1865. The American Civil War is ending. Eighteen years after the famine ship Star of the Sea docked at New York, the daughter of two of her passengers sets out from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a walk across a devastated America. Eliza Duane Mooney is searching for her younger brother she has not seen in four years, one of the hundred thousand children drawn into the war. His fate has been mysterious and will prove extraordinary. It's a walk that will have consequences for many seemingly unconnected survivors: a love-struck cartographer, a haunted Latina poetess, rebel guerrilla Cole McLaurenson, runaway slave Elizabeth Longstreet and the mercurial revolutionary James Con O'Keeffe, who commanded a brigade of Irish immigrants in the Union Army and is now Governor of a western wilderness where nothing is as it seems.

Redemption Falls Reviews

Redemption Falls is a major work of modern fiction from an astonishingly accomplished writer -- Terry Eagleton * Guardian *
The words 'A Masterpiece' are too often bandied around in reviews, but they should be this novel's subtitle * Sunday Tribune *
Broad and ambitious...beautifully written...at the heart of O'Connor's masterful epic lies a universal hope for something better * Observer *
A superb achievement * Irish Times *
A novel of vaulting ambition. O'Connor's finest work to date * Sunday Independent *
